Alphabet, the company responsible for Google, announced that it will change its search engine in Europe, thus complying with a decision from European authorities. This decision comes within the framework of the Digital Markets Act, also known as DMA.
The company warned that the implemented changes will harm the experience of European users on the search engine. Google did not specify exactly what type of changes will be made, but made it clear that the impact will be negative for users.
At issue is a fine applied for violations of the Digital Markets Act, totaling 460 million euros. This sanction represents one of the largest applied by the European Union to a technology company under this legislation.
The Digital Markets Act was created to regulate large technology companies that act as "gatekeepers" of the European digital market, imposing stricter rules of competition and transparency.
