The European Commission fined the world's most popular internet search engine in 2017 for using its own price comparison shopping service to gain an unfair advantage over smaller European rivals. 

 The ruling is part of a broader pattern of antitrust actions against Google, which has faced a total of 8.25 billion euros in fines from the EU over various investigations spanning more than a decade. This particular case was one of the first in a series of antitrust challenges that have significantly impacted Google's operations in Europe
