欧盟周四对谷歌处以8.9亿欧元（约10亿美元）的罚款，指控该公司通过Google Play应用商店和搜索引擎的运营方式违反数字反垄断规定 [1]。欧盟认为谷歌利用其市场地位不公平地将消费者引导至自有服务，从而损害竞争对手的利益 [1]。
欧盟委员会执行副主席Teresa Ribiera表示，"最好的产品应该因为更好而成功，而不是因为被运营搜索引擎的公司拥有" [1]。
谷歌则对此决定提出异议。公司首席法务官Kent Walker声称这项罚款是"由少数自私的投诉者驱动的产品降级" [1]。
这是欧盟对大科技公司的最新重大处罚 [1]。谷歌此前曾因Android系统相关违规行为被罚款45亿美元，但上诉失败 [1]。
The European Union imposed a fine of 890 million euros—approximately $1 billion—against Google on Thursday for violations of digital competition rules [1]. The penalty targets the company's practices through its Google Play app store and search engine, which the EU determined directed consumers toward Google's own services at the expense of competitors [1].
Teresa Ribiera, a senior EU official, stated that "the best products should succeed because they are better, not because they are owned by the company operating the search engine" [1]. This enforcement action represents the latest significant penalty by EU authorities against major technology companies in their ongoing crackdown on anticompetitive conduct.
Google's Chief Legal Officer Kent Walker characterized the fine as "product demotion driven by a handful of selfish complainants" [1]. The company's 2025 revenue stood at $403 billion [1].
This penalty follows Google's failed appeal of a previous $4.5 billion fine related to its Android system practices [1]. The accumulating enforcement actions underscore the EU's aggressive approach to regulating digital market leaders under its evolving competition framework.
