Google hit by record-breaking $5 billion antitrust fine by European Union regulators for abusing dominance of Android mobile operating system. The European Commission levied the fine Wednesday, saying that Google has broken the law by forcing Android smartphone manufacturers to pre-install its own mobile apps and services, like Google Search, Chrome, YouTube, and Gmail, as a condition for licensing. This tactic eventually gives Google’s app and services an unfair preference over other rival services, preventing rivals from innovating and competing, which is “illegal under EU antitrust rules”
