"France Imposes €250m Fine on Google for Intellectual Property Breach"

Google has been fined €250m by French regulators for breaching an agreement over paying media companies for reproducing their content online. The fine is related to breaches of intellectual property rules and concerns about Google's AI service. The competition authority accused Google of not negotiating in good faith with news publishers and training its AI chatbot on content from publishers and news agencies without notifying them. Google has settled the case and agreed to changes in how it negotiates with publishers, but stated that the fine is not proportionate to the issues raised.
