Google Fined €890M Under EU Digital Markets Act Over Search and Play Store Practices
The EU fined Google €890M under the Digital Markets Act for anticompetitive practices in search and Play Store, enforcing structural separation requirements that prevent Google from leveraging its dominant position across services.
◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
Google must now wall off search from Play Store — if you build search, discovery, or app distribution tools in Europe, you now have a regulatory mandate forcing Google to use neutral intermediaries instead of its own services. Call your first enterprise customer in the EU this week.
