EU launches non-compliance investigation into Google Search and Play Store rules
The EU has announced a new non-compliance investigation into Alphabet over Google Search and Play Store actions following the DMA.
Firstly, there’s going to be an investigation into how Google’s rules in the Play Store affect “steering.” This refers to how apps are allowed to tell users where they can purchase or subscribe. These constrain, among other things, developers’ ability to freely communicate and promote offers and directly conclude contracts, including by imposing various charges. The EU’s Commission says that it intends to conclude the investigations “within 12 months,” at which point it will reveal any further changes the “gatekeepers” need to make, as well as potential fines which can be up to 10% of the company’s “worldwide turnover.”
