This is reported by both the Handelsblatt and Capitol Forum. In an open letter released today, more than 30 organizations including <span><a href="https://bewegung.social/@rebalance_now">@<span>rebalance_now</span></a></span> are calling on the Commission President to impose the fine promptly and thus effectively enforce the Digital Markets Act (DMA).<br /><a href="https://rebalance-now.de/en/von-der-leyen-halts-billions-dollar-fine-against-google-criticism-from-parliament-and-civil-society/" rel="nofollow noopener"><span>https://</span><span>rebalance-now.de/en/von-der-le</span><span>yen-halts-billions-dollar-fine-against-google-criticism-from-parliament-and-civil-society/</span></a><br /><a href="https://eupolicy.social/tags/DMA" rel="tag">#<span>DMA</span></a> <a href="https://eupolicy.social/tags/vonderLeyern" rel="tag">#<span>vonderLeyern</span></a> <a href="https://eupolicy.social/tags/digitalsovereignty" rel="tag">#<span>digitalsovereignty</span></a>  <a href="https://eupolicy.social/tags/BreakOpenBigTech" rel="tag">#<span>BreakOpenBigTech</span></a> <a href="https://eupolicy.social/tags/Google" rel="tag">#<span>Google</span></a> <a href="https://eupolicy.social/tags/DigitalMarketsAct" rel="tag">#<span>DigitalMarketsAct</span></a></p>]]></description><link>https://board.circlewithadot.net/topic/8814ea7f-5041-41b5-aa66-cfc4c7f6dc28/ursula-von-der-leyen-has-halted-a-previously-planned-multibillion-euro-fine-against-google-at-the-last-minute.</link><generator>RSS for Node</generator><lastBuildDate>Fri, 15 May 2026 02:10:53 GMT</lastBuildDate><atom:link href="https://board.circlewithadot.net/topic/8814ea7f-5041-41b5-aa66-cfc4c7f6dc28.rss" rel="self" type="application/rss+xml"/><pubDate>Wed, 06 May 2026 09:37:47 GMT</pubDate><ttl>60</ttl><item><title><![CDATA[Reply to Ursula von der Leyen has halted a previously planned multibillion-euro fine against Google at the last minute. on Sun, 10 May 2026 19:25:25 GMT]]></title><description><![CDATA[<p><span><a href="https://eupolicy.social/@max_bank">@<span>max_bank</span></a></span> <span><a href="/user/hennavirkkunen%40ec.social-network.europa.eu">@<span>HennaVirkkunen</span></a></span> <span><a href="/user/eucommission%40ec.social-network.europa.eu">@<span>EUCommission</span></a></span> <a href="https://mastodon.nl/tags/vonderleyen" rel="tag">#<span>vonderleyen</span></a> is undoubtly on the Paulus of <a href="https://mastodon.nl/tags/google" rel="tag">#<span>google</span></a>.

After passing the Digital Omnibus, pushing for age verification, and now halting the Google fine, long standing wishes of American Big Tech lobbying are granted one after another, at the expense of digital rights and European autonomy. Can we at this point agree that von der Leyen is an outright MAGA collaborator?</p>]]></description><link>https://board.circlewithadot.net/post/https://blahaj.zone/notes/am2fuwd8f6l2002y</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://board.circlewithadot.net/post/https://blahaj.zone/notes/am2fuwd8f6l2002y</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[marcella@blahaj.zone]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 09 May 2026 21:47:00 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reply to Ursula von der Leyen has halted a previously planned multibillion-euro fine against Google at the last minute. on Sat, 09 May 2026 19:14:00 GMT]]></title><description><![CDATA[<p><span><a href="https://eupolicy.social/@max_bank">@<span>max_bank</span></a></span> <span><a href="https://bewegung.social/@rebalance_now">@<span>rebalance_now</span></a></span> And we call Trump a TACO.
