Google loses long-running appeal of record EU fine, will have to cough up $4.7 billion

Google has lost its final legal appeal against a record $4.7 billion antitrust fine imposed by the European Union. The penalty resulted from Google bundling its search engine and browser with Android. This ruling concludes the company's efforts to overturn the fine, representing a major setback as international regulators increase their crackdown on Big Tech. The company must now pay the full amount following the failure of its last bid to challenge the EU decision.
