Dec. 12 (UPI) -- In a legal decision that could have wide-ranging implications, a jury has sided with Fortnite maker Epic Games, finding that Google violates antitrust laws with its Android mobile app store.
The California jury on Monday sided with Epic Games on all 11 questions it was asked to consider, including whether Google maintains its monopoly power by engaging in anticompetitive conduct and has injured the game developer by violating antitrust laws.
"Victory over Google," Tim Sweeney, chief executive officer of Epic Games, said on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter.
"This is an example of the greatness of the American justice system," he said in a separate tweet. "A billion-dollar company challenges a trillion-dollar company over complex antitrust practices, and a jury of nine citizens hears the testimony and renders a verdict."
