EU fines Google $1 billion for search, app store antitrust violations

The European Commission fined Google €890 million for violating the Digital Markets Act, finding that Google favored its own services in Search and restricted how app developers steer users on the Google Play store; Google was ordered to remedy these practices within 60 days or face penalties up to 5% of worldwide turnover, and may appeal. The report also references earlier large fines against Google for adtech, Android/Chrome promotion, and privacy-related penalties.
