After India, Google has now been accused of violating anti-trust rules in this country too. Indian agency CCI has directed detailed investigation on the tech company. Winzo Games has accused the company of unfair business practices. At the same time, Canada’s Anti Trust Watch Dog has accused Google of anti-competitive conduct in online advertising. The Canadian agency has filed a case against the tech company in the Competition Tribunal.
Violation of anti-trust rules
Canada’s Competition Bureau has filed a lawsuit against Google’s parent company Alphabet, accusing it of unfair business. The tribunal has recommended a heavy fine on Google due to violation of rules. In this matter, Google said that this allegation is wrong because buyers and sellers have many choices in this ad. We will present our stand on this in our court.
Dan Taylor, Google’s vice president of global ads, said that our advertising technology tool helps websites and apps fund their content. The Competition Bureau of Canada opened an investigation in 2020, saying that Google had violated the rules of fair competition. In its investigation, the agency said that Google has a huge stake in the web advertising and ad-tech sector, which strengthens its market power.
CCI started investigation
Google has already been sued for violating anti-trust rules. Winzo Games has filed a complaint with CCI against Google in India. Google has been accused of unfair business practice by misusing the Play Store. CCI has given instructions for a comprehensive investigation against the tech company in view of the prima facia evidence.

Also, it is giving a warning of malware when downloading the app from the website.
