In South Korea, they complained to the police about the Google management because of the Google Play payment rules
The South Korean organization CUCS, which defends consumer rights, has written a statement to the Seoul police against three top Google managers. Allegedly, they allowed the company to violate the local law on telecommunications business.
The statement mentions:
▪Sundar Pichai, CEO of Google;
▪Nancy Mabel Walker, CEO of Google Korea;
▪Scott Beaumont, President of Google in the Asia-Pacific region.
Human rights activists are dissatisfied with the fact that since June 1, applications that use third-party payment systems have been removed from Google Play. Despite the fact that last year the company changed the rules of the store for South Korea, allowing such systems. However, according to activists, even then it was uncomfortable for local developers to work with Google — they had to pay a high commission of 30% or 26%, depending on the billing method.
CUCS also plans to report on Google to the antimonopoly authority.
