Google to be hit with EU charges of breaching Big Tech rules, sources say
Alphabet unit Google is set to be charged with breaching EU rules aimed at checking the power of Big Tech after proposed changes to its search results failed to address the EU antitrust regulator's concerns and those of its rivals, three people with direct knowledge of the matter said.

The move by the European Commission comes amid tensions with US President Donald Trump who has sided with US tech giants lobbying against EU regulations and criticising fines as a form of tariff. That has in turn triggered concerns that the EU watchdog may ease up on Big Tech.
The European Commission has been investigating Google for potential breaches of the Digital Markets Act since March last year.
One probe focuses on whether Google favours its vertical search engines such as Google Shopping, Google Flights and Google Hotels over rivals, and whether it discriminates against third-party services on Google search results.
The imminent charges concerned this issue, the people said.
