This was long overdue! …and it’s not just a meaningless fine, since a solution needs to be proposed within 2 months:

In addition to the fine, Google was ordered to end these self-preferencing practices. It has 60 days to propose a solution, after which the Commission will asses the proposal and either accept Google’s remedy or impose its own.

Good. EU should take really hard line with the US data harvest platforms.

As usual with EU fines Google won’t pay a cent and the EU will back down eventually.

We all know Russia is a dictatorship but Google has to pay a shit ton of money to them.
