- This is Google's second court defeat after losing its battle to a 2.42 billion euro ($2.42 billion) fine last year, the first of three cases.
- "In order better to reflect the gravity and duration of the infringement, the General Court considers it appropriate however to impose a fine of 4.125 billion euros on Google, its reasoning differing in certain respects from that of the Commission," the judges wrote.
- In its 2018 judgement, the Commission stated that Google utilized Android to consolidate its dominance in general internet search through payments to significant manufacturers and mobile network operators, as well as restrictions.
