August 28, Fineko/abc.az. Alphabet's Google announced on Friday that it has modified its spam policy in Europe to address concerns raised by European Union antitrust regulators, aiming to avoid potentially massive fines.

The tech giant updated its algorithms and policies following scrutiny from the European Commission regarding fair competition in search results. Regulators raised concerns that Google's spam detection mechanisms could unfairly demote competitor services and third-party platforms.

The revised rules are designed to ensure compliance with EU market regulations and mitigate regulatory risks in the region.
