Google has lost an antitrust case which argued that it illegally suppresses competition in its Play Store.

…

Google is facing several antitrust lawsuits—and its loss in court on Monday could derail the others, antitrust expert Matt Stoller wrote in his newsletter BIG. Such decisions tend to have a “bandwagon effect,” Stoller noted. Judges often fear setting a precedent, but won’t need to now that a jury has moved in favor of Epic. The verdict shows that “big tech is not above the law,” Stoller added. “I hear a lot from skeptics that the fix is in, that the powerful will always win … But that just isn’t true. A jury of our peers just made that clear.”
