The European Union may soon hit Google with one of the biggest antitrust fines ever under its new Digital Markets Act rules. EU regulators believe Google unfairly promoted its own services like shopping, travel, and maps over competitors in search results. Reports say the fine could reach hundreds of millions of euros.

Under the Digital Markets Act, large platforms must treat rival services fairly and avoid favoring their own products. Google says some required changes have made Search less useful for users in Europe, but regulators appear ready to act if the company has not fully complied. The final decision could influence how big tech companies operate worldwide.
