EU fines Google $1 billion for violating Digital Markets Act

The European Union fined Google $1 billion for not following the rules set by the Digital Markets Act.

The EU says Google unfairly promotes its own services and makes it hard for other companies to compete.

Google, however, says that following these rules means they have to remove features that people like and reduce safety protections on their Play Store.

This fine is part of a series of penalties Google has received from the EU for similar issues.

The EU gave Google 60 days to comply with the rules or face more penalties.

This comes at a time when relations between the EU and the US are tense, especially with US President Donald Trump criticizing the EU's actions against big tech companies.
