If you’re planning to sue Google for hundreds of millions, there’s a long line ahead of you, as the tech giant is hit with two further massive violations regarding privacy and anticompetitive practices.

The Competition Commission of India has fined Google 13.4 billion rupees (A$258) for anti-competitive practices with its Android OS.

The antitrust regulator said Google’s insistence on making the installation of its own apps compulsory on Android smartphones unfairly strengthens the company’s dominance.

“Google, by making pre-installation of Google’s proprietary apps (particularly Google Play Store) for all Android devices manufactured, distributed, marketed by device manufacturers, has reduced the ability and incentive of device manufacturers to develop and sell devices operating on alternative versions of Android,” the Commission said in a statement.

On top of the fine, the Commission has ordered Google to allow users to uninstall these hard-baked apps, and use different search engines aside from Chrome.

Android is the dominant operating system in India, the second largest mobile market in the world, so this fine will hurt Google’s position in this market.

On the same day as this fine, Google was hit with a lawsuit for allegedly collecting and facial and voice data from Texan residents.

State Attorney General Ken Paxton alleged that Google is turning Texan citizens into “unwitting cash cows being milked by Google for profits.”

He alleges the company violated a state law that prevents companies from collection such biometric information without explicit consent.

“Google has, since at least 2015, collected biometric data from innumerable Texans and used their faces and their voices to serve Google’s commercial ends,” Paxton charges.

“The proliferation of the commercialisation of Texans’ personal biometric identifiers is as invasive as it is dangerous.”

Paxton claimed Google Photos, Google Assist and the Google Nest all collect such data.

“To Google, it does not matter that the three-year-olds, the bystanders, and grandma never consented to Google capturing and recording their biometric data,” he claims.

The company faces a A$39,800 fine for each violation, which may amount in the hundreds of millions.

This suit echoes a previous filing made by Paxton in February.

Google spokesperson José Castañeda claims Paxton is “once again mischaracterising our products in another breathless lawsuit.”

“For example, Google Photos helps you organize pictures of people, by grouping similar faces, so you can easily find old photos,” Castañeda said.

“Of course, this is only visible to you, you can easily turn off this feature if you choose and we do not use photos or videos in Google Photos for advertising purposes.

“The same is true for Voice Match and Face Match on Nest Hub Max, which are off-by-default features that give users the option to let Google Assistant recognize their voice or face to show their information. We will set the record straight in court.”
