ME News reports that on May 26 (UTC+8), the European Union plans to impose a fine on Google in the billion-euro range, which would be the largest penalty issued under the Digital Markets Act (DMA), with an official announcement expected before the summer break. The investigation was formally launched in March 2025, with core allegations that Google prioritized its own services in search results, violating DMA provisions. The European Commission stated that its primary goal is to ensure Google’s compliance, not merely to impose fines, but emphasized it will not delay taking further steps. Google has criticized the DMA for causing the most significant downgrade in its search product’s history and expressed its desire to resolve the dispute as soon as possible. (Source: BlockBeats)
