Monopoly of Google in U. S. A court
U.S. Court Orders Google to Allow Rival App Stores on Android In a recent ruling, a California jury determined that Google has maintained an illegal monopoly through its Android Play Store. This decision mandates Google to open its Android operating system to competing app stores. The ruling restricts Google from prohibiting alternative in-app payment methods for three years and allows users to download third-party app stores. Additionally, it prevents Google from making payments to manufacturers for pre-installing its app store and sharing revenue with other app distributors. Google plans to appeal this decision, expressing concerns that these changes could negatively impact consumers and developers.
