Media and search giant Google is in trouble again for something the company has done in the past: rigging search results to favor its own products over those of competitors.
As reported by The New York Times, Russian authorities have leveled antitrust charges against Google, alleging that the San Francisco-based tech company has been abusing its dominant market position with its mobile operating system Android “by favoring the company’s own devices over those of rivals, including Yandex, a Russian competitor.”
In filings, Russian regulatory officials said that Yandex began complaining earlier this year to the country’s competitive authority that cellphone makers were not able to include the firm’s rival digital products in the Android operating system. After making complaints, regulators began investigating whether Google was unfairly bundling its own services, such as Google Maps, in Android software.
For Google, this is just business as usual
