Google may be found guilty of antitrust violations in Japan.
The Japan Fair Trade Commission is expected to announce that Google’s preferential Search deals with smartphone makers are anticompetitive, reports Nikkei Asia.
Like in the US, Google will get to weigh in after the JFTC releases its verdict. The regulator will “notify Google of the draft of its order, hear the company’s opinion and make a final decision,” writes Nikkei.
