EU regulators order Google to break up digital ad business over competition concernsEuropean Union antitrust regulators are taking aim at Google’s lucrative digital advertising business, ordering the tech giant to sell off some of its ad business to address competition concerns.

That includes three antitrust penalties for Google worth more than 8 billion euros, now $8.6 billion.
