CCI rejects plea against Google for allegedly giving Truecaller exclusive access to user data

The Competition Commission of India (CCI) has turned down a complaint against Google India, for allegedly granting exclusive access to Truecaller to share private contact information of users with everyone while prohibiting other apps from doing so.

“By doing this, Google is favouring Truecaller and distorting the market for caller ID and spam protection apps, thereby providing a monopoly space to Truecaller,” Rachna Khaira had claimed in the complaint.
