Google just paid a staggering 890 million euro fine from the EU for anti-competitive practices—460 million for favoring its own shopping, hotel, and travel services in search, and 430 million for restricting app developers on Google Play.

The battle between Big Tech and regulators continues, with the EU watching closely to ensure a fairer digital market.
