CARL AZUZ, CNN 10 ANCHOR: For the third time in two years, the European Union is ordering Google to pay more than $1 billion for breaking EU rules.
That's the first story we're explaining today on CNN 10.
I'm Carl Azuz.
The first time had to do with shopping.
In 2017, the EU accused Google of using its own search engine to steer shoppers to its own shopping platform instead of those of its competitors.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Search for almost anything you could buy online and right at the top Google will first offer you a box with a selection of that product, say cheese.
If you go further and click on it, Google directs you to its own Google shopping page.
The European Commission argues that by promoting its own business and banishing other such websites to around the fourth page of search results.
What Google is doing it really denying anyone else a chance to compete and denying consumers with what it calls a genuine choice.
AZUZ: The EU said that was unfair and fined the company $2.7 billion a record at the time.
