About this episode

In this episode, we take a deep dive into the European Union's historic antitrust crackdown on Google's Android operating system. After an eight-year legal battle culminating in a record-breaking €4.1 billion fine, the EU's top courts have definitively ruled that the tech giant abused its market dominance. We unpack the core of the European Commission's case, detailing how Google used pre-installation requirements, anti-fragmentation agreements, and revenue-sharing deals to cement the dominance of its Search engine and Chrome browser.
