EU prepares to charge Google for breaching Big Tech regulations

The European Commission plans to charge Google for violating Big Tech regulations. This follows Google's failure to address concerns about its search results favoring its own services over competitors, despite recent changes made by the company. The investigation, ongoing since March 2024, focuses on whether Google discriminates against third-party services. The Digital Markets Act prohibits such favoritism, with potential fines reaching 10% of Google's global revenue. Charges against Google are expected soon, as the EU also investigates Apple and Meta Platforms. The Commission's actions come amid tensions with the U.S. government, which has criticized EU regulations affecting American tech companies.
