The European Commission issued a preliminary opinion on Wednesday arguing that Google had abused its role as the dominant digital advertiser. The digital company would be forced to sell parts of its business if the commission concludes that Google did indeed abuse its role.
Google contested the claim. “Our advertising technology tools help websites and apps fund their content, and enable businesses of all sizes to effectively reach new customers,” Dan Taylor, Google vice president of global ads, said in a statement. “The Commission’s investigation focuses on a narrow aspect of our advertising business and is not new. We disagree with the EC’s view and we will respond accordingly.”A finding of guilty would be Google's fourth major violation in the EU.
The United States has two ongoing antitrust cases against Google, including one over its advertising technology.

Google should break up digital ad business over competition concerns, European regulators sayEuropean Union regulators hit Google with fresh antitrust charges Wednesday, saying the only way to satisfy competition concerns about its lucrative digital ad business is by selling off parts of the tech giant's main moneymaker. The unprecedented decision to push for such a breakup marks a significant escalation by Brussels in its crackdown on Silicon Valley digital giants, and follows a similar move by U.S. authorities seeking to bust Google's alleged monopoly on the online ad ecosystem. The European Commission, the bloc's executive branch and top antitrust enforcer, said its preliminary view after an investigation is that “only the mandatory divestment by Google of part of its services” would address the concerns.
