How Europe is forcing Google to change
|London (CNN Business)Europe has gone after Google with tough new regulations, court battles and massive antitrust fines, forcing the company to change how it does business in the lucrative market.
The latest hit came Wednesday, when EU regulators fined Google €1.5 billion ($1.7 billion) for abusing its dominant position in online search advertising.
Google altered its search advertising practices in 2016 after EU regulators objected. It’s also changed how it displays shopping results, overhauled its privacy policy and relaxed its grip on the Android mobile market.
