It takes patience and money to beat Google!
On Thursday, the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals - which is one level below the Supreme Court - validated a lower court ruling that Google's monopoly in android mobile app stores was illegal and must be ended, and ended in less than a year.
The original lawsuit was filed by Epic Games in 2020, and Google appealed the lower court's jury verdict in 2023 that determined Google’s Android app store has damaged smartphone consumers and software developers. https://www.thebignewsletter.com/p/monopoly-round-up-boom-google-finally
