The EU's Digital Reckoning: A Blow to Big Tech, and a Warning to Washington The European Union's antitrust regulator has imposed a €890 million fine on Google for violating landmark legislation aimed at curbing the power of big tech.

The fines handed down by the European Commission are significant. What's more striking is the extent to which Google has been forced to comply with the EU's Digital Markets Act (DMA).
