Google Is Expected to Get Hit With a Third Antitrust Penalty

The fine is related to Google AdSense

The European Union is expected to soon announce another antitrust fine against Google—this time related to its AdSense advertising platform, according to a report from Bloomberg.

Commissioner Margrethe Vestager, who heads up EU competition policy, is expected to soon announce a fine for the AdSense product, sources told Bloomberg Thursday evening. It’s unclear when exactly the penalty will be announced.  The expected fine follow years of probes into AdSense, an advertising service that helps digital publishers place ads on their pages, and it will finalize several actions the EU has taken against Google for its business practices.
