Indonesia's antitrust agency has ordered Google to pay a fine of approximately 202 billion rupiah ($12.37 million) for unfair practices regarding its payment system services for the Google Play Store, the company's software distribution platform. The investigation into Alphabet Inc's Google began in 2022 due to suspicions of abuse of its dominant position. Google was found to be requiring Indonesian app developers to utilize Google Pay Billing at higher rates compared to other payment systems or risk removal from the Google Play Store, subsequently reducing developers' earnings and user base. The agency concluded that Google violated Indonesia's laws against monopolies by charging fees of up to 30% through Google Pay Billing, exploiting its 93% market share in the country with a population of 280 million. Google Indonesia did not provide an immediate response to requests for comments after hours. Google has indicated offering users alternative billing options in the past. Over the last decade, Google has faced fines exceeding 8 billion euros ($8.31 billion) from the European Union for anticompetitive practices related to various services.
