The EC and Google both announced on Tuesday that the tech giant has received a third extension to respond to EU charges that the company abused its dominant market position with the Android mobile operating system. The response was due to come out on Tuesday, but has now been pushed back to October 7.
During the announcment, Google stated that it received extensions for two other separate investigations as well. The EC’s probe into Google Shopping has delayed Google’s response until October 13 and the response to the accusation of Google blocking competitors in online search advertising has been delayed until October 5.
Each of the charges could land Google a fine of up to $7.4 billion, though the company maintains its position that it has not violated any EU regulations.
