"The European Commission has fined Google €2.95bn (£2.54bn), for breaching EU antitrust rules. Regulators say Google abused its dominance by giving preferential treatment to its Ad Exchange (AdX) within its publisher ad server and ad-buying tools. Google now has 60 days to end these practices and address conflicts of interest in the ad tech supply chain. If it fails, the commission warned it could impose tougher remedies."
"If it fails, the commission warned it could impose tougher remedies. According to Teresa Ribera, executive vice president of the commission, "Digital markets exist to serve people and must be grounded in trust and fairness. And when markets fail, public institutions must act to prevent dominant players from abusing their power." Google plans to appeal. The company argues its services are competitive and that advertisers have more alternatives than ever."
"Anthropic will pay a minimum of USD$1.5bn (£1.11bn) to settle a copyright lawsuit from authors who accused the company of using pirated books to train its AI systems. The settlement was filed for preliminary approval in a San Francisco federal court, ahead of a December trial. Anthropic said in a court filing it faced "inordinate pressure" to settle, warning a loss at trial could have meant up to USD$1tn (£740bn) in damages."
