If reports are to be believed, Google has been sued by US based tech firm Disconnect. Designed to stop non-consensual third party trackers, Disconnect was established almost four years ago by former Google engineers. In its appeal to EU anti-trust regulators, Disconnect had said that Google had banned the app from the Google Play store last year.

It added that by blocking the application, Google has abused its position. By incorporating its own privacy and security services into its own products, the firm has gained an unfair advantage over competitors.
However, Google calls the claim groundless. Spokesman Al Verney asserted that Google Play policies have always banned applications that obstruct other apps -- such as changing their functions or eliminating their way of making money. He further said that Google appies this policy uniformly, which is supported by Android developers.
The European Commission, on the other hand, confirms that it has received the complaint and added that the commission would assess it. |
