> A California court just ruled in Epic Games v. Google that Google has engaged in a variety of anti-competitive behaviors with their smartphone app store.
Keep in mind that Epic games lost a virtually identical legal battle against Apple.
>are we about to see a turning point in what electronic stores are allowed to do to their customers?
One way of looking at this situation is that Google got punished for having a slightly more open Eco-system than Apple. So at the moment it looks more like we can expect more apple-type walled gardern shit.
Of course Apple might get forced to tear down that wall. There was an EU ruling that requires Apple to allow third-party app stores. That'll be a few years until this goes into effect, so i guess we have to wait and see.
ATM you have to install a custom Rom or learn how to use a Linux phone if you don't want to get fucked over.
