Judges at the European Union's top court dismissed an appeal by Google over a landmark, 4.1 billion euro ($4.5 billion) antitrust fine imposed for throttling competition and reducing consumer choice through the dominance of its mobile Android operating system. The case has been tangled up in courts since the European Commission announced the fine in 2018. “The appeal brought by Google and its parent company Alphabet against the judgment of the General Court is dismissed, thereby confirming the penalty imposed for Google Search’s abuse of a dominant position in the context of the Android operating system,” the Luxembourg-based judges wrote in their ruling.

Alphabet's Google on Thursday lost its fight against a record fine imposed by ‌EU antitrust regulators eight years ago for using its Android mobile operating ‌system to block rivals, a court ruling likely to boost Europe's crackdown on Big Tech.

Google then appealed ⁠to the Luxembourg-based Court of Justice of the European Union, Europe's highest.
