Turkish competition authority imposes a fine on Google
New Delhi, July 11 (UNI) The Turkish Competition Authority announced on Thursday that it had decided to impose a penalty of TL 355.1 million (approx $8.9 million) on search giant Google. The decision has taken into consideration Google's failure to follow the regulatory instructions of the board.
The Turkish Competition Authority is a regulatory watchdog based in Turkey. It is a government organization that ensures fair competition in the markets of goods and services.
In a statement released by the board, the authority found non-compliance by Google, as per the Protection of Competition Act, for distorting fair competition in the market.
The Protection of Competition Act is designed to prevent practices that hinder competition in Turkey's markets. It also oversees the ongoing mergers and acquisitions within Turkey.
In June Turkish Competition Authority also ordered an investigation into Google's Performance Max (PMax) campaign, in charge of combining data from multiple sources to hamper competition. Google Performance Max (PMax) enables advertisers to promote their business across Google Ads.
