San Francisco | A federal jury on Monday (Tuesday AEDT) found against Google in a lawsuit brought by Epic, the company behind popular video game Fortnite, which accused the search giant of suppressing competition in the Android app market to secure billions of dollars in profits from its Play Store.
The verdict was returned just hours after closing arguments in the weeks-long trial in San Francisco. The central issue in the case was whether Google stopped rivals to its Play Store and payment services from gaining traction on Android devices.
