On February 4, the Turkish Competition Board unveiled the commencement of a fresh wave of antitrust investigations targeting Google. In the past, Google faced fines and was compelled to revise its policies owing to agreements linked to the Android system. Nevertheless, the investigation uncovered that Google continued to steer manufacturers into signing optional agreements by means of financial incentives. These incentives were aimed at securing the pre-installation and default settings of search components and browsers. Moreover, the board will scrutinize Google's restrictive clauses that hinder the advancement of forked systems, as well as its developer verification procedures. This is to determine whether Google is sidestepping regulatory scrutiny and undermining competition in the mobile market through its revised contract framework.
