EU fines Google €890M for breaching Digital Markets Act
The EU fined Google €890 million for two DMA violations: €460 million for favouring its own services in search results and €430 million for anti-steering practices in Android's app store. The penalties mark the largest combined fine under the Digital Markets Act to date, covering infringements from March 2024 to December 2025.
◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
If you compete against Google in search or app discovery, the DMA now has teeth—Google's own conduct just cost it nearly €900 million, and the Commission will use this playbook to police every other gatekeeper. You have nine months to audit your own services for similar favouritism before you become the next fine.
