EU court backs Italy's ₹8.2-crore fine against Google for gambling ads
A European Union court has confirmed Italy's $854,250 (₹8.2-crore) fine against Google regarding gambling promotions found on YouTube. Google had appealed the penalty imposed by Italian authorities, arguing that EU regulations exempt it from responsibility for third-party uploads. However, the court ruled that Google bears liability for content posted by a creator who maintains a formal partnership with the platform.
