The EU aims to impose an antitrust fine on Google for adtech.

It examines broader shifts in EU/US enforcement against Big Tech and implications for companies and parents, promotes a Caveat Podcast discussion on government equity stakes via FIRRMA/CHIPS, and notes other items: a reduced Amazon fine in Italy, Meta’s teen-focused AI safeguards, and New Mexico’s $315M quantum computing investment.
