欧盟因广告技术反垄断违规对谷歌罚款35亿美元

摘要

欧盟委员会因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,这标志着自2017年以来对该公司的第四次重大欧盟反垄断处罚。

欧盟委员会对谷歌处以29.5亿欧元(约35亿美元)罚款,原因是其违反欧盟反垄断规则,偏袒自身的数字广告服务。委员会认定,谷歌滥用其市场主导地位,在其出版商广告服务器和广告购买工具中优先考虑其广告交易平台AdX,从而损害了竞争,可能导致广告商和消费者成本上升。

委员会已命令谷歌停止这些自我偏袒的行为,并采取措施消除广告技术供应链中的利益冲突。谷歌有60天时间提交符合这些指令的整改方案。

欧盟委员会负责清洁、公正及竞争转型的执行副主席特雷莎·里韦拉表示:“谷歌现在必须提出严肃的补救措施来解决其利益冲突问题,如果未能做到,我们将毫不犹豫地采取强有力的措施。”

对此,谷歌宣布计划对该决定提出上诉。公司全球监管事务负责人李-安妮·穆尔霍兰表示:“欧盟委员会对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难以盈利的改变。”

此裁决也引发了美国总统唐纳德·特朗普的批评,他称罚款“不公平”,并威胁对欧洲商品实施报复性关税。

此次罚款是欧盟迄今为止第二大反垄断罚款,仅次于2018年对谷歌处以的50亿美元罚款。
