There’s constantly ongoing investigations into Google: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antitrust_cases_against_Google_by_the_European_Union

Since 2010, the European Union has investigated several antitrust complaints against Google alleging abuses of its dominant position in breach of the EU's competition laws. Three complaints have resulted in formal charges against Google: those relating to Google Shopping, the Android operating system and to Google AdSense. Google has been found guilty of antitrust breaches in the three cases and has been fined over €8 billion.

The operation was eventually cleared on 17 December 2020 subject to conditions.article | about
