Google has won an appeal against a €1.5 billion competition fine from the European Commission in a victory for the Big Tech group as it comes under growing scrutiny from Brussels regulators. The case is one of three the EU has fought in court against Google over the past few years, which have amounted to fines of roughly €8.25 billion. Critics have said that the market for online advertising has already been cornered by the tech giant and that antitrust action has been too slow and ineffective. Are the regulators toothless against the tech giants ?
