So will they actually pay it?

What will happen if they don't pay you can hardly stop people using it can you?

Google has been fined 2.42bn euros ($2.7bn; £2.1bn) by the European Commission after it ruled the company had abused its power by promoting its own shopping comparison service at the top of search results.
