European regulators gave the tech giant 90 days to stop its illegal activities or face fines of up to 5% of the average daily worldwide turnover of parent company Alphabet.

Re: Google hit by record-breaking 2.4bn fine from EU
Typical of the bullies in the EU. It's only illegal if they say so. 
Question though, if they are already dominating the market, how the hell do you abuse it to become more dominant and if people use it's search engine, what's wrong with them promoting their services?

Many companies promote their own services so l personally see nothing wrong with that.
