Alphabet Hit With EU Antitrust Penalty in Adtech Case

Alphabet, the parent company of Google, has been penalized by the European Commission for alleged anti-competitive practices in the advertising technology sector. Regulators said the company gave undue preference to its own display advertising services, disadvantaging rival providers and publishers across the region.

The Commission has ordered Alphabet to end these practices within 60 days and introduce structural changes in the adtech supply chain. The investigation, launched in 2021, marks the fourth major EU antitrust action against the company.

The penalty totals $3.45 billion, bringing the European Union’s cumulative fines against Alphabet to more than $11.5 billion over the past decade. Previous cases included a $5 billion fine in 2018 linked to the Android operating system, $2.7 billion in 2017 concerning search comparison services, and $1.7 billion in 2019 over online advertising contracts. Alphabet has said it disagrees with the ruling, intends to appeal, and expects to record the charge in its third-quarter 2025 results, according to a U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filing.

In 2024, Alphabet’s advertising division generated about $237 billion, accounting for 77% of its total revenue. While the fine represents a small portion of annual earnings, EU officials stated the decision underscores long-standing concerns about concentration in the digital advertising market, which represents nearly 80% of all online ad spending in Europe.
