June 27, 2017
Google befell the ire of European Union officials this week and was fined a record $2.71 billion ( €2.42 billion) Tuesday. The fine was levied against Google for unfairly favoring some of its own shopping services over competitors.
Officials at the European Commission said that Google must come up with changes to its practices within 90 days or face more penalties.
