Feed: Slashdot Feed Link: https://slashdot.org/ --- Title: Australian Federal Court Rules Apple and Google Engaged in Anti- Competitive App Store Conduct Link: https://apple.slashdot.org/story/25/08/12/164... Australia's Federal Court ruled Tuesday that Apple and Google violated competition law through anti-competitive app store practices. Judge Jonathan Beach found both companies breached section 46 of the Competition and Consumer Act by misusing market power to reduce competition. The decision covers class actions representing 15 million consumers and 150,000 developers seeking compensation for inflated prices from 2017-2022, plus separate Epic Games cases. Apple's exclusive iOS App Store and mandatory payment system, along with Google's Play Store billing requirements, were ruled anti- competitive despite security justifications. Compensation amounts will be determined at subsequent hearings, with estimates reaching hundreds of millions of dollars. Read more of this story at Slashdot. --- VRSS v2.1.180528 |
