EU Court rules on Google AdSense fine in landmark case

The EU General Court has recently released judgements concerning a significant case involving Google and its parent company, Alphabet, specifically related to Google AdSense for Search. This case was initiated by the European Commission, which imposed a fine on Google for engaging in abusive practices in online advertising. The court's decision is pivotal as it addresses the legality of the Commission's actions and the implications for competition in the digital advertising market. Additionally, the court also considered Qualcomm's appeal against a substantial fine imposed by the European Commission, highlighting ongoing scrutiny of major tech companies in Europe. The rulings are expected to have far-reaching effects on how online advertising is regulated and how companies like Google operate within the EU framework. The venue for these judgements was Luxembourg, where the court proceedings took place, emphasizing the importance of the EU's legal system in overseeing corporate practices.
