The European Commission said on the 23rd that Google prioritizes showing its own shopping, hotels, transportation, and sports services in its search results, making it impossible for similar services from third parties to receive the same level of display, which constitutes “self-preferential treatment” for its own services. The statement also said that Google failed to comply with the provisions of the European Union's Digital Market Law, which restricted application developers from informing users that they could purchase related services at lower prices through channels other than the Google App Store “Google Marketplace”, and prevented developers from guiding users to complete transactions outside of the “Google Market.” Based on these two acts, the European Commission decided to fine Google 890 million euros. At the same time, the EU requires Google to treat third-party services in search results fairly and non-discriminately, and allows application developers to freely introduce and promote offers to users and complete transactions outside of the “Google Market.” The European Commission said that Google must complete the rectification within 60 days; otherwise, additional fines will be imposed on it.
