The European Commission has fined the American company Google €890 million for violating the requirements of the Digital Markets Act (DMA).

This was reported on the official website of the European Commission.

According to Brussels, Google gives priority to its own services in search results, including online shopping platforms, hotel booking, transport, and information services, while limiting the visibility of similar offers from competitors.

"Google gives more prominent placement to its own services in search results by placing them at the top of the page or using noticeable visual elements and filters, while similar third-party services do not receive the same visibility," the European Commission said in a statement.

In addition, the European Commission said that Google restricts app developers by not allowing them to inform users free of charge about alternative and often cheaper offers and direct them to third-party websites or alternative app stores.
