Summary
The European Court of Justice has upheld a record $4.7 billion antitrust fine against Google, ruling that the company abused its dominance on Android to favor its own apps. Google has exhausted all appeals and must pay the fine. This penalty, while substantial, represents a smaller percentage of Google's profits now compared to when first assessed in 2018.
