Judge James Donato intends to dismantle Google’s Android app store monopoly, following an earlier ruling declaring it illegal.
Google argued that opening its store to competitors would be too costly and complex, but the judge dismissed this claim, emphasizing that barriers will be removed.
Proposed remedies include banning discriminatory practices against rival app stores and setting up a committee to monitor compliance and report regularly.

As someone else who has never owned an Apple device, only watched other people using them. What the fuck are you on about?

Are you seriously complaining about people complaining that Google's main rival seems to be immune from the same punishments, despite the fact that they, as you have said, are the most draconian and locked down system? Do you not see why this might be a relevant problem that Apple is just immune to legal repercussions because "lmao they've always been evil 🙈"?
