Google faces antitrust heat in South Korea over android app dominance with ‘project hug’
South Korea’s antitrust regulator alleged on Wednesday that Alphabet’s Google abused its dominant position in the Android app marketplace to hinder competition and will recommend corrective measures and a financial penalty.
The Korea Fair Trade Commission’s (KFTC) Market Surveillance Bureau found Google’s alleged abuse of market dominance in the Android app marketplace affected 14.16 trillion won ($9.1 billion) in revenue, the bureau said in a media briefing where it released its examiner’s report on the matter.
