EU hits Google with $1 billion fine over its Play app store and search
Google had recently lost its appeal of a $4.5 billion antitrust fine imposed by the EU for throttling competition and reducing consumer choice through the dominance of its mobile Android operating system.

The ruling could also include fines and a decision on whether Google must share search data with third-party providers. https://searchengineland.com/eu-rule-google-favored-own-services-search-482495?eicker.news #tech #media #news

This move comes after pressure from UK regulators, aiming to empower publishers in content deal negotiations.

@vagina_museum this is terrifying. #AI is already injected in #Google #searchresults and if it takes anymore room, will replace the existing algorithms with devastating consequences. Basically it'll be like 1994 again, except we'll be in a massive #enshitification ocean rather than in a void, which is worse, because now people believe they have data and will act adamantly accordingly, when in 1994 we knew we had nothing.
#Google’s #AI integration, particularly #AIOverviews in #searchresults, is driving increased user engagement, particularly among younger demographics. This growth, coupled with a 50% increase in daily prompts to Gemini and a doubling of AI token processing, indicates Google’s confidence in its AI strategy. https://www.theverge.com/command-line-newsletter/713603/google-search-chatgpt-openai-earnings-ai-race-swag?eicker.news #tech #media #news
