EU Court Supports Multibillion-Euro Fine on Google

Google had some bad news about an EU fine. A court adviser said Google's appeal should not be accepted. The adviser thinks Google should pay the fine of over 4 billion euros.

This problem started in 2018 with the European Commission. The EU said Google used Android to stop competition. They thought Google limited choices for people who use Android phones.

Google first appealed, and the fine was made a little smaller. But Google did not agree and appealed again. The court adviser now says the court should agree with the smaller fine.

Google said they are not happy with this opinion. They think it will hurt Android users and businesses. Google believes Android gives people more choices and helps many businesses.

The court adviser's opinion is not the final decision. The judges will now talk about the case and decide later. This fine is one of three big fines for Google from the European Commission.
