The European Parliament Just Voted To Break Up Google

The European Parliament has passed a historic vote to break up US tech giant Google. It has no power to break up the company, but it does send a message to Google that the EU is unhappy with its business practises.

The European Parliament has never voted to break up a company before, making this a historic decision.

There's no specific mention of Google in the vote, but the decision makes it clear that the EU is unhappy with its search engine's dominance. Google dominates the European search engine market, with 90% of web searches passing through Google Search. That's a far bigger share of the market than the US, where Google accounts for 68% of searches.
