Turkey Fines Google IDR 1.3 Trillion For Violating Competition Law
JAKARTA Turkey's competition authority has imposed a fine of 2.61 billion lira (approximately IDR 1.3 trillion) on Google, Alphabet Inc's parent company, for violating competition laws in the ad server service market.
In a statement on Friday, December 13, the regulator stated that Google is taking advantage of its dominant position to prioritize its supply-side platform (SSP) services compared to competitors. This action is said to complicate Google's competitor operations.

With an exchange rate of 1 US dollar equal to 34.9456 lires, the fine is equivalent to 75 million US dollars.
Google has not commented on this decision.
