About this page

This page presents a fact-finding survey report released by the Japan Fair Trade Commission on October 31, 2019, regarding transaction practices of digital platform operators. The survey examined transactions between online mall and app store operators and merchant users to identify potential violations of the Antimonopoly Act. The investigation methods included an information provision window, questionnaire surveys of merchant users and consumers, and interviews with 93 parties. The commission committed to strictly addressing specific cases violating competition law and will continue monitoring issues such as terms of service changes, misuse of transaction data, and search algorithm manipulation. Future efforts will focus on integrated competition policy across digital platforms.
