San Francisco | Google chief executive Sundar Pichai took to the witness stand on Tuesday (Wednesday AEDT) for the second time in a month, testifying in a trial over whether the company uses its popular app store to stifle competition and extract excessive fees.
Epic Games, the maker of the popular Fortnite game, has argued in its lawsuit that Google has set up a thicket of contractual and technical restrictions around its Android operating system that in effect made its Play Store the only channel where users could buy apps. The trial began last week and is expected to head to a jury in mid-December.
