The news: EU regulators are preparing to issue charges against Google parent Alphabet by the end of October over the way the company displays search results for rival businesses.
- The charges claim that Google is violating the Digital Markets Act (DMA), adding the company to the list of tech giants including Apple and Meta recently targeted for breaches.
- A ruling would likely not come until spring 2025, but Google could face a steep fine of as much as 10% of its global annual revenues if it doesn’t fall in line with the DMA’s rules.
