PARIS (Reuters). -A French court upheld a fine of 150 millions euros against Alphabet’s Google (NASDAQ:) for abusing its power to treat advertisers. A spokesperson for the U.S. company stated on Thursday.

France’s antitrust watchdog, which imposed the 2019 fine in 2019, stated that Google had applied opaque advertising rules to change them as needed.

Google was first to be penalized by the competition authorities.

Google spokeswoman said that they had already changed policies to clarify the original French competition authority decision. They will then study in more detail the ruling of the court and decide on the next steps.

Google announced that the two orders of the watchdog that were issued in conjunction with the fine for 150 million euro had been overturned.

It revoked an earlier order, which forced it to create a system that allows French consumers to lodge complaints.

Google had to release an annual report detailing how many websites were banned from Google Ads due to their rules being broken.

Google Ads allows advertisers to be featured in sponsored search results.
