Η Google filed an appeal on Tuesday against the amount of 4,34 billion euros he has to pay for violating the rules of European Union antitrust law, as announced by CNET.
In July we passed, the European Commission imposed fine στην Google για τους περιορισμούς της εταιρείας στους κατασκευαστές συσκευών Android και στους φορείς εκμετάλλευσης δικτύων. Η επιβολή περιορισμών στόχευε να “εδραιώσει την δεσπόζουσα θέση της εταιρείας στην search of the Internet."
In particular, the European Commission announced that the case concerned three types of restrictions imposed by Google:
- Require manufacturers to pre-install the Google Search app and Chrome as a precondition for licensing the Google Play Store.
- Making payments to some major manufacturers and mobile operators, provided they pre-install the Google Search application
- Prevent manufacturers who wanted to pre-install Google apps on any smart mobile device running on Android forks.
In response to the accusations, the CEO of Google Sundar Pichai published an article on the company's blog in July titled “Android has created more options, not fewer” or in English: “Android has created more choice, not less."
Let's say that Google is already facing another European Commission decision. Last year, the Commission imposed on the company a fine of 2,4 billion because it is unfair with its purchasing department.
