Google must pay €4.1bn fine for using Android to 'block' rivals

In a landmark ruling, Google has been ordered to pay a €4.1bn fine for anti-competitive practices related to its Android operating system, with the European Commission finding that Google used its market dominance to block rivals. Google has expressed disappointment with the decision, arguing that it has invested heavily to keep Android open and accessible. This ruling underscores the EU's commitment to enforcing fair competition in the tech industry, which could have broader implications for how tech giants operate globally.
