Google hit with $12.4 million fine by Indonesia for antitrust violations in app payments.

Indonesia's antitrust agency fined Google $12.4 million for requiring developers to use Google Play Billing, which charged higher rates than other payment systems. The investigation, launched in 2022, found Google abused its dominant market position, controlling 93% of Indonesia's app market. Google plans to appeal, arguing its practices support a competitive ecosystem. This adds to Google's history of antitrust penalties, including an $8.3 billion fine from the EU.
