[kictanet] Google to Face a Record $3.4 Billion AntiTrust Fine in Europe

[Ahmed Mohamed Maawy]

Listers,

Would love to hear out on how this will shape the landscape going
forward... But this is some amazing development, especially when it relates
to a force that dominates the World Wide Web.



*Google faces a record anti-trust penalty of about 3 BILLION Euros (US$3.4
Billion) from the European Commission in the coming days, according to
reports.*

*After 7-years of the investigation, the European Commission filed
anti-trust charges against Google last year for violating antitrust
laws.The European Union accused the search engine giant that it had abused
its dominance in search by unfairly prioritize and displaying its own
comparison shopping service at the top of its search results at the expense
of rival products.*
