Europe’s highest court has sided with Italian regulators in a legal battle against Google, upholding a \u20ac750,000 fine \u2014 roughly $854,250 \u2014 tied to gambling advertisements that appeared on the YouTube platform.<\/p>

The Court of Justice of the European Union, based in Luxembourg, issued the ruling on Thursday, finding that Google’s responsibility extends to videos posted by content creators who have commercial agreements with the company.<\/p>
