EU Fines Alphabet €890 Million Under the Digital Markets Act

The European Commission fined Alphabet €890 million for two Digital Markets Act violations: €460 million for Google Search favoring its own Shopping, Hotels, and Flights results, and €430 million for Play Store rules preventing developers from directing users to alternative payment options. Google has 60 days to comply or face ongoing penalties. The DMA's ceiling is 10% of global revenue — roughly $40 billion for Google.
