On Thursday, the Turkish competition authority announced its decision to impose fines on Google for its failure to meet obligations concerning a segment of its local search services.
The authority stated that it would levy daily fines equivalent to five ten-thousandths of Google’s 2023 revenues until the company adheres to the decisions of the competition board, with the penalty commencing from April 15.
The board clarified that the fine was imposed because Google’s previously implemented measures to address concerns raised by the competition authority regarding local search services did not encompass hotel inquiries.
