Deep Tide TechFlow news. On May 26, Reuters reported that Germany’s Handelsblatt, citing sources from the European Commission, said the EU plans to impose a fine on Alphabet’s Google of a high three-digit number of millions of euros. This will be the largest fine the EU has issued under the Digital Markets Act (DMA), and is expected to be officially announced before the summer recess.

The investigation was formally launched in March 2025, with the core allegation that Google favors the promotion of its own services in search results, in breach of DMA-related requirements. The European Commission said its primary objective is to drive Google’s compliance, rather than simply pursuing fines, but stressed that it will not hesitate to proceed with subsequent steps. Google, meanwhile, criticized the DMA rules for causing the “largest downgrade in its search products ever” and said it hopes to resolve the dispute as soon as possible.
