Google Avoids 76 Million Euro Fine
The Court of Appeal in Brussels changed the fine Google had to pay. The original fine was 76 million euros. This was for a problem with a Belgian company called Proxistore.
Google is involved in a legal case with Proxistore, a French company. Proxistore says Google used their services for advertising without paying. The case started in February 2025. The Court of Appeal reduced the fine from 76 million euros. This change suggests that regulators are looking at Google’s actions in Europe differently.
