Reached for a response to the General Court’s ruling, Google spokesman Jay Stoll emailed a statement welcoming the judgement. “This case is about a very narrow subset of text-only search ads placed on a limited number of publishers’ websites,” Google wrote. “We made changes to our contracts in 2016 to remove the relevant provisions, even before the Commission’s decision. We are pleased that the court has recognised errors in the original decision and annulled the fine. We will review the full decision closely.”
