On Sep 5, 2025, the European Commission announced its decision that Google, a wholly owned Alphabet subsidiary, had infringed European competition laws through “self-preferencing” on the buy side and the sell side of its advertising technology business. The decision imposed a fine of €2.95 billion and directed Google to cease and desist the alleged practices. Alphabet said Google planned to appeal the ruling and that Alphabet expected to accrue the fine in the third quarter of 2025.
