Brussels shifts from fines to dialogue on tech giants
The European Commission has imposed a fine of 890 million euros on Google due to violations of European Union competition rules, within the framework of the Digital Markets Act (DMA) that came into effect three years ago. This fine follows previous sanctions totaling 1.6 billion euros, but is significantly lower than the historic fine of 4.1 billion euros in 2018. The law aims to change the behavior of major technology companies rather than relying solely on fines, through quiet regulatory tools such as "specification setting decisions" that focus on fixing company practices like data collection and preferential treatment of their services. Additionally, the Commission has closed cases against Apple and initiated proceedings against Meta, as European companies continue to turn to national courts to enforce judgments or seek compensation for past damages.
