The European Union is preparing to levy hundreds of millions of euros in fines on Google's parent company, Alphabet, for alleged violations of the Digital Markets Act (DMA). The decision, expected to be announced before the summer recess, could mark the largest fine ever imposed by the EU under the DMA. The investigation, initiated in March 2025, examines whether Google unfairly prioritizes its own services in search results, undermining market competition. The European Commission emphasized its goal of ensuring compliance rather than merely imposing penalties, but warned that enforcement actions would continue if Google's adjustments fail to meet regulatory standards. Google has stated that changes made to its search products in line with DMA requirements have affected user experience and expressed a desire to resolve the issue with regulators.
