Google has been fined €890m (£759m) by the EU for allegedly abusing its power by favouring its own apps and services over those from rivals. The Commission argued Google's practices limited consumer choice and gave its own services an unfair advantage over rivals. EU officials rejected that argument, saying the measures are necessary to prevent dominant platforms from disadvantaging rivals. The total fine handed down to Google is comprised of two separate breaches of the DMA. The European Commission imposed a €460m penalty after finding Google favoured its own services for helping people book flights and hotels over competitors in search results.
