Google decided to attack one of the huge fines he received in the European Union last year due to some alleged non-competitive actions, and will try to reduce it, or get rid of it altogether. 1.49 billion euros is the amount of the fine applied by the European Union against Google because of the way it conducted its business with the Adsense platform in Europe, the amount being a very large one, regardless of the company.
Google he said from the moment he received the fine that it was unfairly applied, and now we see that he is also taking a stance from a legal point of view, with this attack on the decision at the Court of Justice of the European Union. Google was fined for alleged non-competitive practices between 2006 and 2016, more precisely by imposing restrictive contracts on those who used its platform to display advertisements on their own websites.
Google ATTACKS THE HUGE FINE Received in the EU
Google is accused of forcing websites to display its advertisements in prominent positions, and has restricted various ways of displaying advertisements, and some media trusts have most likely complained about this. The European Union also imposed on Google the obligation to modify all the abusive clauses in its contracts, which has more than likely happened so far, without reinstating them in the future.
Like clockwork, Google has filed a legal appeal against the €1.49 billion ($1.7BN) antitrust penalty the European Commission slapped on its search ad brokering business three months ago.
Google he received this fine three months ago, and only now decided to file an appeal against it, during this period the lawyers were more than likely looking for the best means of appeal. The fine imposed against the company comes after two others, of much higher values, applied because of the Android operating system, but also because of its search engine, both of which have already been challenged at the Court of Justice of the European Union since a few months ago.
Google he is attacking the fines, but it is not known if he will manage to gain anything from these actions, but considering the very large sums imputed to him, he has no choice but to fight with the European authorities.
