@EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu when EU will take care of Google monopolistic practicies?
There is almost no way to buy Android phone without GoogleMobileServices (GMS) GMS so intrusive that even EU countries GOVs Apps are dependend on them. Same with banking Apps.
GooglePay in GMS killed other contactless payment options. The ones that remains are dependent on GMS.
I'm so old that I remember when Microsoft was punished for preinstaling InternetExplorer. What Google is doing is worse.

Hi @wod0bow@mastodon.social. We regulate the gatekeeper power of large online platforms under the Digital Markets Act. In fact, we very recently fined Google €890 million for unfair search and app store practices You can read the press release here: https://link.europa.eu/vrNJTx
