European Court of Justice rules Booking.com cannot enforce price restrictions on hotels.

The European Court of Justice ruled that Booking.com cannot enforce price restrictions on hotels that prevent them from offering lower rates on their own sites or competitors' platforms.

The ruling highlights ongoing debates about market competition and fairness in online booking.
