The last couple of years have seen Google being targeted by numerous anti-trust investigations and lawsuits regarding its Android policies, which essentially bully smartphone makers into bundling Google’s apps with their Android devices. The problem with this is that it gives Google a massive advantage over companies trying to make third-party alternatives to its apps and services. Yandex, which is often referred to as the Google of Russia, brought this issue to Russian anti-trust regulators not too long ago, and now the Russian government has given Google one month to amend all of its agreements with smartphone makers so that they’re no longer bullied into bundling Google apps with their devices.
