Japan's competition regulator, the Japan Fair Trade Commission (JFTC), issued a cease and desist order to Alphabet's Google on Tuesday for engaging in anticompetitive practices, marking the first such action against a U.S. tech company.

The JFTC stated that Google pressured smartphone manufacturers to prioritize its services. As part of the ruling, Google is required to appoint a third-party to oversee and report back to the regulator.
