Japan orders Google to stop pre-installing Chrome and its other apps on Android smartphones

The Japan Fair Trade Commission (JFTC) has issued a cease-and-desist order against Google for violating anti-monopoly laws. Google allegedly forced Android smartphone manufacturers to preinstall its apps, hindering competition from other search engines. The JFTC's order requires Google to cease these practices, develop compliance guidelines, and appoint a third-party monitor for five years.
