LONDON: Google is challenging a record European Union antitrust fine that took aim at the Android operating system's role in restricting mobile competition and consumer choice.

The company said Thursday that it filed the appeal against the 4.125bil euro (RM19.12bil) penalty "because there are areas that require legal clarification from the European Court of Justice,” the EU’s top court.
