Japan Accuses Google of Violating Competition Regulations
The Japanese government has raised concerns that the technology giant Google is infringing upon the country's competition laws. This allegation stems from agreements that have ensured the installation of Google applications on mobile devices operating with the Android system. According to the Japanese regulatory authority, Google has facilitated the bundling of its app store, Google Play, with its web browser, Chrome, as part of a package deal.
Similar accusations have been made against Google in the United States and the European Union, where authorities have claimed that the company holds an excessively dominant market position that undermines fair competition. In November of the previous year, U.S. authorities requested a court order for Google to divest its Chrome browser.
