text-sm\">Update: 02 July 2026<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Google lost its long-running legal battle against a European Union antitrust fine of around \u20ac4.1 billion ($4.7 billion) after the bloc\u2019s top court dismissed an appeal by the US technology giant and its parent company Alphabet.<\/p>\n<p>The Court of Justice of the EU said on Thursday that the appeal against a previous judgment by the General Court was dismissed, confirming the penalty imposed over Google Search\u2019s abuse of a dominant position in the context of the Android operating system.<\/p>\n<p>The case dates back to 2018, when the European Commission found that Google had abused its dominant position by using pre-installation agreements and licensing conditions to promote Google Search and the Chrome browser on mobile devices running Android.<\/p>\n<p>The Commission initially imposed an overall fine of \u20ac4.34 billion on Google, with Alphabet held jointly and severally liable for part of the penalty.<\/p>\n<p>At first instance, the General Court upheld the classification of Google\u2019s conduct as a single and continuous infringement, but partially annulled the Commission\u2019s decision regarding certain revenue-sharing agreements with device manufacturers and mobile network operators.<\/p>\n<p>Following that partial annulment, the General Court reduced the fine to \u20ac4.125 billion, with Alphabet jointly and severally liable for \u20ac1.52 billion.<\/p>\n<p>In its latest ruling, the Court of Justice found that the General Court had not erred in law in assessing the anticompetitive effects of Google\u2019s Android agreements.<\/p>\n<p>The top court said the General Court was entitled to consider the broader economic context, including revenue-sharing agreements, and did not have to systematically carry out a counterfactual analysis to establish abuse of a dominant position.<\/p>\n<p>The court also upheld findings that pre-installed apps benefited from a \u201cstatus quo bias,\u201d rejecting Google and Alphabet\u2019s argument that user preferences or the quality of their services alone&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aa.com.tr\/en\/economy\/google-loses-eu-court-fight-over-47b-android-antitrust-fine\/3984015\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Google loses EU court fight over $4.7B Android antitrust fine https:\/\/www.aa.com.tr\/en\/economy\/google-loses-eu-court-fight-over-47b-android-antitrust-fine\/3984015 Publish Date: 2026-07-02 04:26:00&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":284820,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/web-cdnprod.aa.com.tr\/uploads\/Contents\/2026\/07\/02\/thumbs_b_c_058f590c41e3fd373ee51a9af75ab99c.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[46],"tags":[70],"class_list":["post-284819","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-android","tag-google"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/284819"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=284819"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/284819\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":284821,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/284819\/revisions\/284821"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/284820"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=284819"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=284819"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=284819"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
