Google's App Store Found Guilty of Antitrust Violations by Federal Jury
A federal jury in California has ruled in favor of Epic Games in its antitrust lawsuit against Google's Android App Store, finding that the store violated antitrust laws and was illegally protected from competition. The jury found for Epic Games on all 11 questions, including the existence of an antitrust market and Google's anticompetitive conduct. The verdict could have significant implications for app store rules, potentially giving developers more control over app distribution and profits. Google plans to appeal the verdict, and the judge is expected to decide on remedies in January.
