EU court upholds Google's $854,250 Italian fine over gambling advertising

Europe’s top court upheld Italy’s communications regulator’s fine of €750,000 ($854,250) against Google’s YouTube for gambling advertising issued four years ago. While the penalty is small relative to Alphabet’s scale, the ruling reinforces scrutiny of platform ads and compliance, which may keep regulatory overhang on the business.
