Following similar actions taken by authorities in Europe and other major economies, Japan’s competition watchdog announced on Monday that it would begin examining Google’s (GOOGL.O) potential violation of anti-monopoly rules in web search services.

The Japan Fair Trade Commission (JFTC) said it would look into whether Google broke Japanese anti-monopoly laws, notably by giving Android smartphone manufacturers a portion of their earnings in exchange for not installing competing search engines. The ruling comes after similar actions by antitrust officials in the United States, the European Union, and other countries.

Regulating organizations and business watchers worldwide are paying attention to the Japanese investigation into Google’s dominance in search. It illustrates the pressure that tech oligopolies face for their market dominance and business tactics.

The findings of this analysis may cause regulatory frameworks in many nations to be reevaluated. Governments may adopt stronger laws to avoid anti-competitive activity among tech businesses that might affect the whole sector.

The antitrust investigation by Japan into Google’s monopoly in search is a big step with broad ramifications for the internet giant and the sector. The probe’s conclusion will probably influence Google’s business operations and regulatory strategies for dealing with anti-competitive activity among Internet companies. As we follow this narrative, the IT sector is entering a new age of enhanced scrutiny and accountability.
