Around the world, government organizations are calling out Google for its monopolistic practices. The Japan Fair Trade Commission (JFTC) has reportedly announced that Google violated the country’s antitrust laws regarding its search engine, Chrome, and issued a cease and desist letter, Nikkei Asia reported. The watchdog began an investigation into Google’s practices in October.

The JFTC has reportedly accused Google of requiring smartphone manufacturers to sign a contract that states that Chrome is not only pre-downloaded on all devices, but that it will be placed somewhere on the screen. Manufacturers are allegedly forced to do this in order to use Google Play on their devices.

In the US, federal judge Amit Mehta ruled in November that Google is “a monopolist” in the search engine industry. The Department of Justice (DoJ) immediately called. Google to sell Chrome because it “permanently gives up Google’s control of this critical search access point and allows rival search engines the ability to access the browser that for many users is a gateway to the internet.” The DoJ also called on Google to stop favoring Chrome over Android. Google recently issued a proposal to appease the DoJ, but stated that it will appeal the judge’s ruling before a hearing scheduled for April.
