Turkey’s antitrust regulator fined Google 2.61 billion liras ($75 million), saying the company provided an unfair advantage to its own supply-side platform at the expense of rivals.

The antitrust board said Google’s market dominance in the technology, which is used to automate sales of ad space, violated competition law. It named five companies in the decision, including Google International LLC, Google LLC, Google Ireland Ltd. and Alphabet Inc.
