Europe's top court on Thursday dismissed Google's appeal against a 4.1 billion euro Android antitrust fine, handing the European Commission a major victory in one of its longest-running antitrust battles with Big Tech. The Court of Justice of the European Union said it upheld a lower court's 2022 judgment, which largely backed the Commission's finding that Google abused its dominant position by imposing restrictions on makers of smartphones that use its Android operating system and mobile network operators to protect the dominance of Google Search and Chrome. The General Court reduced the original 4.34 billion euro penalty to 4.125 billion euros, a fine that now stands.
