South Korea Fines Google and Apple Over App Store Payment Practices

On 28 October 2026, the Korea Communications Commission (KMCC) fined Google and Apple a combined 63.7 billion won (about US$47.6 million) for violating the Telecommunications Business Act. Google faced 42.9 billion won in penalties, while Apple was fined 20.81 billion won.

The KMCC ordered corrective actions to promote fair competition and consumer choice, including reforms to app‑store payment practices and disclosure norms. The decision underscores growing regulatory scrutiny of digital gatekeepers globally and signals India’s own exam‑relevant context on platform governance.
