European Commissioner for Competition, Margrethe Vestager, just announced the EU’s third big antitrust fine against Google. The EU found the company guilty of breaking antitrust laws when it prevented third parties (i.e. Google’s ad-brokering competitors) from using its advertising tool, AdSense, to display search ads. This has now resulted in a €1.49 billion fine (1.29 percent of Google’s turnover in 2018).
