    Fines go directly to the EU budget, the shortfall for which is then split proportionally among member nations, effectively reducing the burden on those nations, which governments can individually choose to pass on to citizens, allocate to other public budgets, or pocket it. The EU has no say in this decision.

    It took way too long time for this. They have been able to abuse this too long time

    Have to wonder if this judgement was influenced at all by Google's decision to block third party app stores?

    It seems it wasn't because they can't be fined today for tomorrow's violations, but they definitely will be fined for this as it directly and explicitely prevents users from installing apps they don't approve

    Well, they don't care about the overwhelmingly negative response they've gotten, hopefully they'll care about the price tag for this court case and the tone it sets for the judgement at the next court case.
