    Want to use a somewhat popular app? Tough luck if you don’t have Google Play Services.

    Yes. Android is an open source program. But it's maintained by the Google. All apps are hosted by the Google. All apps are maintained by the Google. So, you need to have those services, right?

    Les just say you're right, but a fine of $5 billion dollars...!

    Alphabet's Google on Thursday lost its fight against a record fine imposed by EU antitrust regulators eight years ago for using its Android mobile operating system to block rivals, a court ruling likely to boost Europe's crackdown on Big Tech.

    The European Commission had originally handed out a €4.34 billion fine to Google in 2018 for its agreements which forced phone manufacturers to pre-install Google Search, the Chrome browser and the Google Play app store on their Android devices and prevented them from using rival Android systems.

    A lower tribunal subsequently trimmed the fine to €4.1 billion in 2022 after the world's most popular search engine challenged the EU penalty. Google then appealed to the Luxembourg-based Court of Justice of the European Union, Europe's highest.

    The court sided with the EU antitrust enforcer.

    "The appeal brought by Google and its parent company Alphabet against the judgment of the General Court is dismissed, thereby confirming the penalty imposed for Google Search's abuse of a dominant position in the context of the Android operating system," judges said.

    A Google spokesperson said that the judgment failed to take into account its investment to ensure Android remains open, interoperable and free.

    "In any event, we adapted our agreements to comply with the initial decision back in 2018 and we remain focused on continued innovation and openness for our users, partners and developers", Google said.
