欧盟因广告技术领域反垄断违规行为对谷歌罚款34.5亿美元

摘要

欧盟委员会对谷歌滥用其在数字广告市场的主导地位处以29.5亿欧元罚款,这标志着该公司近年来第四次受到重大反垄断处罚。

欧盟委员会因谷歌在广告技术业务中的反垄断违规行为,对其处以29.5亿欧元(34.5亿美元)罚款。这是该公司近年来第四次受到欧盟监管机构的重大处罚。

委员会发现,自2014年以来,谷歌偏袒其自有的在线展示技术服务,如其广告交易平台AdX,损害了竞争对手和在线出版商的利益。这种自我优待使谷歌能够收取更高费用,并强化了其在广告技术供应链中的核心地位。

对此,委员会已命令谷歌在60天内停止这些自我优待行为并解决内在的利益冲突问题。若未能遵守,可能面临更严厉的措施,包括潜在的资产剥离。

谷歌已宣布计划对该决定提出上诉。监管事务全球负责人兼副总裁李安妮·穆尔霍兰表示:“欧盟委员会关于我们广告技术服务的决定是错误的,我们将提出上诉。该决定施加了不合理的罚款,并要求做出将使数千家欧洲企业更难盈利的改变。”

此次罚款继谷歌此前受到的欧盟处罚之后,包括2018年的43亿欧元罚款、2017年的24.2亿欧元罚款以及2019年的14.9亿欧元罚款。

此案也引起了美国官员的关注。时任总统唐纳德·特朗普威胁将对欧盟采取报复措施,以回应其对美国大型科技公司的行动。
