Google and the European Union are still battling it out over various product-bundling schemes across Google's empire. The latest news has to do with Google Shopping's integration with Google Search. In 2017, the EU ruled that Google Shopping's integration with Search was a violation of antitrust laws. Today, Google lost its appeal, and the court held up the €2.4 billion ($2.8 billion) fine. Google can still appeal the ruling one more time, but this time, the company would go before the European Court of Justice (ECJ), the highest court in the EU.
