Google said last week it looked forward to working with the CCI to "demonstrate how Android has led to more competition and innovation, not less."

In Thursday's statement the company said it had filed a legal challenge against the CCI at the Delhi High Court "to prevent any further unlawful disclosures of confidential findings."

Google said it was "protesting against the breach of confidence which impairs Google's ability to defend itself and harms Google and its partners."

It's nice how every second company has to go to court to stop government bodies from leaking private/confidential data. Because you know that is exactly what's going to happen.

The INS has sought fair value for content hosted on Google, stating that news publishers are not being properly compensated for the content they generate.

“The News Media Houses are completely kept in the dark on the total advertising revenue collected by Google and what actual percentage of the advertising revenue is being transferred to media organizations. The European Publishers Council had also filed a competition complaint against Google alleging that Google has achieved end to end control of the ad tech value chain, thus abusing its dominant position,” the statement released on Friday said.

CCI waalon ke sab sar se upar nikal jaata hoga. This is probably like the 20th complaint against Google received by them. And I don't remember reading anything about them taking any action.
