The European Commission fined Google €890m for Digital Markets Act violations: €460m for unfairly prioritising its own services in search results, and €430m for restricting app developers' pricing flexibility and distribution options.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

If you sell search or app distribution services to European users, Google's forced neutrality just became your market access. The Commission has now weaponised the DMA and proved it will fine conduct, not warnings—your go-to-market in Europe shifts from competing on product to competing on terms Google must now offer equally.
