Google is appealing it's 2017, $2.6 billion fine from the E.U. over the shopping comparison service, which is claimed, google's own service has an unfair advantage.

In a statement to the BBC, Google said: "We're appealing [against] the European Commission's 2017 Google Shopping decision because it is wrong on the law, the facts, and the economics. Shopping ads have always helped people find the products they are looking for quickly and easily, and helped merchants to reach potential customers.

"We look forward to making our case in court and demonstrating that we have improved quality and increased choice for consumers."

Thanks lammert, I must have forgotten to hit ctrl-v
It's a lot of money, and that's one reason for the appeal, plus, Google has made small steps to appease, so it's hoping it has shown it's changing.
I'm not sure it'll succeed, but it's got to try.
