The European Commission fined Google €890 million for breaching the Digital Markets Act, marking the first enforcement action under the bloc's new competition rulebook for gatekeepers. The fine signals active enforcement of DMA obligations on dominant tech platforms operating in Europe.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
