On Wednesday morning, the European Commission fined Google 4.34 billion euros ($5.04 billion USD) in a landmark antitrust case against its Android licensing practices. The European Union regulatory body said that Google has been imposing illegal restrictions on phone manufacturers since 2011 in order to “cement its dominant position in general internet search.”

This is the second fine the Commission filed against the search giant in the past year. In June 2017, Google was fined $2.7 billion for breaking antitrust laws related to its leveraging its dominant position as a search engine to privilege its own shopping service over its competitors, “irrespective of [their] merits.”
