💨 Abstract

Google faces a significant setback in its effort to overturn a €4.13 billion EU antitrust fine related to its Android operating system. The European Court of Justice’s advocate general Juliane Kokott recommended dismissing Google’s appeal, siding with EU regulators. The fine, imposed in 2018, alleged that Google used Android’s dominance to stifle competition and limit consumer choice. Google's appeals in 2022 slightly reduced the penalty to €4.1
