Google hit with record €4.1 billion antitrust fine

European regulators have imposed a record antitrust fine on Google. The penalty totals €4.1 billion, equivalent to about £3.5 billion. The fine stems from findings that Google abused its market dominance. Authorities described the sanction as the largest ever for antitrust violations. The decision underscores growing scrutiny of major technology firms. Google is required to pay the amount in full. The company may consider appealing the ruling. The case could shape future enforcement actions against big tech.
