This follows similar efforts by US regulators to curb Google&#8217;s market power in digital advertising. The commission&#8217;s preliminary opinion argues that Google has abused its role as the dominant digital advertiser and may be forced to sell parts of its business if found guilty.<\/p>\n<h3>Google Denies Accusations<\/h3>\n<p>Google has contested the claim, stating that their advertising technology tools help websites and apps fund their content and enable businesses of all sizes to reach new customers. Dan Taylor, Google&#8217;s Vice President of Global Ads, said in a statement, &#8220;The Commission\u2019s investigation focuses on a narrow aspect of our advertising business and is not new. We disagree with the EC\u2019s view and we will respond accordingly.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>Potential Consequences for Google<\/h3>\n<p>If found guilty, this would be Google&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/eu-files-antitrust-complaint-against-google-over-ad-market-dominance\/\" title=\"EU accuses Google of antitrust violations in ad market.\">fourth major violation<\/a> in the EU. The company has already been fined three times between 2017 and 2019 for a total of $8.6 billion over allegations of &#8220;systematically favoring&#8221; its shopping service, abusing Android&#8217;s market dominance, and preventing AdSense users from accepting advertising from rival search engines. The United States also has two ongoing antitrust cases against Google, including one over its advertising technology.<\/p>\n<h3>European Parliament Passes AI Legislation<\/h3>\n<p>In related news, the European Parliament has passed AI legislation, marking a significant step towards the first rulebook for artificial intelligence.
