Google, one of the world’s largest tech companies, is in trouble as agencies in different parts of the world are trying to rein in it and end its monopoly. The Indian government is also taking steps in this direction and wants to take back control of cyberspace from Google.
Recently, the European Union (EU) court has dealt a big blow to the search engine company and has been fined $ 4.12 billion. Google was found guilty of imposing various restrictions on companies making Android phones, so that its search engine should be directly benefited.
