Hi there,

Can you donate $10 per month to support Democracy Now!’s independent journalism all year long? Since our very first broadcast in 1996, we’ve refused to take government or corporate funding, because nothing is more important to us than our editorial independence—especially in this unprecedented election year. When Democracy Now! covers war and peace or the climate crisis, we’re not brought to you by the weapons manufacturers or the oil, gas, coal or nuclear companies. Our journalism is powered by YOU. But that means we can’t do our work without your support. Right now, a generous donor will DOUBLE your gift, which means your $10 donation this month will be worth $20 to Democracy Now! Please do your part right now. We’re all in this together. Thank you so much.
-Amy Goodman

Google and Apple Lose EU Appeals as Google’s Second U.S. Antitrust Lawsuit Opens

HeadlineSep 10, 2024

In tech news, Google and Apple are facing billions of dollars in fines after losing their respective appeals against the European Union. The European Court of Justice ruled Apple must pay 13 billion euros in back taxes to Ireland in a legal case that spanned 10 years as it went through the appeals process.

Separately, Google must pay a 2.4 billion euro fine for favoring its own price-comparison shopping service over its rivals. This comes as Google’s second major antitrust suit brought by President Biden’s Justice Department kicked off Monday. At issue is Google’s monopoly over the digital advertising industry. Last month, a federal judge ruled Google operated an illegal monopoly in the online search industry.
