Google has been punished with a third fine by the European Union in as many years.
The Alphabet-owned company was fined $1.7 billion on Wednesday by European Competition Commissioner Margrethe Vestager over anticompetitive practices related to its AdSense advertising service.
The penalty follows its record $5 billion fine in July last year for abusing the dominance of Android. The search giant was also fined $2.7 billion in September 2017 over its shopping service.
