“#Google fined $268M for market abuse in French antitrust case<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

Google has been fined nearly $270 million by French authorities for abusing its market power in the digital advertising sector.<\/p>\n

As part of the first-of-its-kind settlement agreement announced by the French Competition Authority Monday, Google also agreed to change some of its advertising practices to make it easier for competitors to use its online ad tools as a result of the agreement.<\/p>\n

Google\u2019s commitment to change its practices is binding for three years, the regulators said. <\/p>\n

The French investigation found that Google unfairly sent digital advertising business to its own services and discriminated against the competition.<\/p>\n

Specifically, the investigation found that Google gave preferential treatment to its own advertising server, DFP, and its online ad auction house, AdX, in part by providing information about rival bids.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese very serious practices have penalized competition in the emerging online advertising market, and have enabled Google not only to preserve but also to increase its dominant position,\u201d Isabelle de Silva, president of the French Competition Authority, said in a statement.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis sanction and these commitments will make it possible to re-establish a level playing field for all actors, and the ability of publishers to make the most of their advertising spaces,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

Google\u2019s promises to change its practices are only binding in France, but Maria Gomri, Google\u2019s legal director in France, said in a blog post that\u00a0Google will be testing its changes \u201cover the coming months before rolling them out more broadly, including some globally.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have agreed on a set of commitments to make it easier for publishers to make use of data and use our tools with other ad technologies,\u201d Gomri said. \u201cWe\u2019re committed to working collaboratively with regulators and investing in new products and technologies that give publishers more choice and better results when using our platforms,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

The French investigation came after News<\/a> Corp., which is the parent company of The Post, French newspaper Le Figaro and the Belgian press group Rossel filed a complaint against Google in 2019.<\/p>\n

The settlement reflects a broader wave of antitrust interest against big tech companies in recent weeks.<\/p>\n

Last week, the European Union and the United Kingdom both announced they were opening antitrust investigations into Facebook<\/a>. The EU has also filed antitrust charges against App<\/a>le and Amazon. The companies have disputed the charges.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
