Google Loses Final Appeal on €4.1B EU Android Fine

Europe’s top court has upheld the €4.1 billion antitrust fine against Google, ending the company’s final appeal over how it used Android’s market power to reinforce Search and Chrome. The decision closes a case that has run for nearly a decade and reaffirms the EU’s willingness to police default-app bundling on mobile. Coming alongside the Apple DMA ruling, it signals a European regulatory environment that is only tightening around Big Tech distribution control.
