4 of 6 sources readable. source-0.html.gz (WinBuzzer — confirms investigation history, Google remedies fell short, Gemini AI Overviews concern); source-1.html.gz (PPC Land — confirms Thomas Regnier quotes verbatim, Google spokesperson quote verbatim, €500M Apple/€200M Meta DMA fines, 'disguised tariffs' characterization, Article 6(5), before-summer-recess timing, geopolitical delay context); source-2.html.gz (TechTimes — confirms historical fines €2.42B/2017, €4.34B/2018, €1.49B/2019, €2.95B/2025, Regnier 'more interested in finding future compliance solutions' quote); source-5.html.gz (The Next Web — confirms 10% global turnover ceiling, '$35B+' for Alphabet, 'bottom of the available range', March 2024 investigation opened, November 2025 news publisher proceeding). source-3.html.gz (CyberPress — HTTP 403, unreadable; claims: von der Leyen makes final decision, Google's news search remedy proposals. These are minor institutional claims not corroborated elsewhere in snapshots). source-4.html.gz (CyberSecurityNews — HTTP 403, unreadable; claims: 'systematically prioritizing' formal accusation text, Article 6(5) citation, historical fines. These specific claims are corroborated by TechTimes and PPC Land).

All headline/lead claims verified. Thomas Regnier quotes confirmed verbatim in PPC Land (source-1). Google spokesperson quote confirmed verbatim. Historical EU fine amounts confirmed in TechTimes. €500M Apple/€200M Meta DMA fines confirmed. 10% ceiling verified. One minor concern: 'the final decision rests with Commission President Ursula von der Leyen' attributed to blocked CyberPress source; this is a mild institutional characterization — DMA enforcement decisions formally rest with the College of Commissioners, not personally with the President. This is a low-impact attributional imprecision, not a factual error about the core story.

Well-sourced policy article with all substantive claims corroborated. Two blocked sources are a concern but their unique attributed claims are either minor or corroborated elsewhere. Approved.
