Google on Friday announced changes to its advertising services to avert the risk of a breakup, two months after Brussels hit the US giant with a €2.95-billion antitrust fine for favouring its own services. This comes a day after the European Commission launched a new probe into the company under its digital competition rules over suspicions it is unfairly pushing down certain news outlets in search rankings.
