The European Commission’s anti-trust ruling against search engine giant Google has been welcomed by News Corporation. The media company hopes further action will be taken to address Google’s "shameless abuse" of its market power in the search category. Google has been ordered to pay a fine of EUR2.42bn ($A3.5bn) and take remedial action within 90 days to end the practice of giving priority to Google Shopping in search results. News Corp has also criticised Google for facilitating the dissemination of so-called fake news and "commodifying content".
