Google to face EU charges for breaching digital market rules

The European Union plans to charge Google with violating rules designed to limit the power of large tech companies. This follows Google's failure to resolve concerns about its search results and treatment of competitors. The investigation, ongoing since March 2024, examines whether Google prioritizes its own services, like Google Shopping and Google Flights, over those of rivals. Another aspect of the probe looks into restrictions that may prevent app developers from promoting offers outside the Google App Store.
