Wondering if Google can take out a BNPL plan to cover the damages

This comes years after this fine was upheld about Google shopping in an EU court. I guess prisjakt (another Swedish website that works just like pricerunner) could do the same now.

Klarna bought pricerunner for just under a billion 5 years ago, pretty good deal.

Didn't Google have a previous lawsuit against foundem? Not a fan of Google but foundem were fucking awful.

$1.5B is significant, but the bigger question is whether this actually changes how dominant platforms rank their own services.
Is this real accountability for anti-competitive behaviour, or just another cost of doing business for Big Tech?
My cynicism is tell me that unfortunately it is the latter.

Why would Google NOT favor it's own service at it's own product? How is that illegal?
