A Berlin court has ruled that Google must pay the German price comparison site Idealo around €465 million ($542 million) for abusing its dominant market position. Another site, Producto, will receive €107 million. Both rulings can be appealed.
Idealo, a subsidiary of Axel Springer, accused Google of favoring its own Google Shopping service from 2008 to 2023. Google rejects the decision and plans to appeal, citing changes made in 2017 that increased access for rival comparison sites from seven to 1,550 across Europe.
