Google fined $3.5 billion by EU for ad tech abuse

EU fines Google €2.95B for abusing dominance in ad tech, saying its practices raised costs for advertisers/publishers and could hike consumer prices. Google has 60 days to propose fixes, with potential divestiture on the table; it plans to appeal, calling the decision wrong. The move follows similar US DOJ efforts to break up Google’s ad tech business.
