Google 'respectfully disagrees' with Italy's antitrust decision

May 13, 2021 6:50 AM

Google ”respectfully disagrees” with Italy’s antitrust decision to fine it 102 million euros (USD 123 million) for abuse of dominant position due to its Android mobile operating system and app store Google Play, a spokesman for the company said on Thursday.

Italy’s competition watchdog said earlier on Thursday the internet giant did not allow JuicePass, an electric vehicle (EV) services app from Enel X, to operate on Android Auto – which allows apps to be used while driving – unfairly limiting its use while favouring Google Maps.

The spokesman said Google’s priority for Android Auto was to ensure safety during driving and that it had stringent guidelines regarding apps supported by Android Auto.
