On June 19, 2025, an EU Court Advisor backed the European Union's $4.7 billion antitrust fine against Google related to its Android operating system. This opinion is a significant development in the long-running legal battle.
The fine was originally imposed for Google's alleged anti-competitive practices, including forcing manufacturers to pre-install Google apps and restricting rival search engines. The advisor's opinion, while not binding, often influences the final court decision.
A confirmation of this substantial fine would represent a major financial penalty for Alphabet and reinforce the regulatory pressure on its Android business model in Europe. It underscores the ongoing challenges Google faces in complying with EU competition laws.
