Google fined $162 mn by Indian watchdog over market dominance

India's anti-trust watchdog, the Competition Commission of India (CCI), fined Google $162 million for abusing its dominant Android operating system position in the local smartphone market.
The CCI determined Google unlawfully configured Android to pre-install its apps (YouTube, Chrome, Search), granting them an unfair competitive advantage over rivals.
Google was directed to allow Android users to remove pre-installed apps and cease agreements with smartphone makers that promote exclusive Android use.
This ruling reflects similar anti-trust actions and significant fines Google has encountered in the European Union and other global markets.

The Senate majority grants Democrats the power to block Trump's judicial and cabinet nominees, significantly curbing his influence on federal appointments.
Despite their victories, Democrats face significant obstacles, including Trump's veto power and Senate procedural rules, making legislative progress difficult without bipartisan cooperation.
