Paul Stone provides comment for City AM on the record fine against Google over Android phones

Paul Stone provides comment for City AM on the record fine against Google over Android phones

In a major win for EU competition regulators, the record fine against Google over Android phones was upheld this morning.

The European General Court said it “largely confirms” the ruling made by the European Commission in 2018 that said Google had breached laws by forcing Android phone-makers to carry its search and web browser apps in order to access the Google Play Store in 2018.

Paul Stone, Senior Counsel, provides comment for City AM on this decision. He comments:

"This decision is a “symbolic victory” and will come as a relief to the commission given its other ongoing investigations into Google."
