Japan caught Google violating antitrust laws with Chrome

The Japan Fair Trade Commission (JFTC), one of the antitrust regulators, finds Google guilty of violating the country’s antitrust laws. The Reuters news agency writes about this with reference to Nikkei Asia.

According to the source, the department will soon publish an official request in which it will demand that Google stop violating antitrust laws. Official representatives of Google and the JFTC have not yet commented on this issue.

The Japanese regulator began an investigation into Google in connection with possible violations of the law that the American company may have committed in the field of Internet search in October last year. This investigation began shortly after similar measures were taken by the authorities of the European Union and several other countries.

Google has the Chrome browser, which is the world’s most popular web surfing application, which the company uses to collect user data. Thanks to this, Google has the opportunity to advertise effectively and more profitably for itself. Earlier this year, the US Department of Justice, which is making a lot of efforts to combat Google’s monopoly in the field of Internet search and advertising, asked a judge to force the IT giant to sell the Chrome browser, as well as to impose a ban on entering the Internet browser market for a period of five years.
