Google will have to distribute rival third-party app stores within Google Play, and it must give rival third-party app stores access to the full catalog of Google Play apps, unless developers opt out individually.
what the fuck. I don’t like google, I run fully Foss, and only recently installed microG, but I don’t agree with this garbage.
It’s easy enough to install any third party appstore. I don’t agree with this at all.
Samsung implemented auto blocker a few updates ago, but now has enabled it by default on all their phones, and you need to know where to look to dissable it.
So any other app store that isn’t the samsung app store and Google play store wouldn’t work with this enabled, which is why they are in this lawsuit as well.
Epic filed a second lawsuit against Google (and Samsung) one week ago, arguing the companies were already attempting to sidestep this upcoming injunction by adding additional friction for third-party app stores. Since that case is now officially related to this one, Judge Donato will be hearing it as well.
I’ve installed Amazon’s app store, and FDroid and never had an issue. Are these not considered third-party stores?
Ok, guys, this is epic.
rofl at this title trying to victimize google for being monopolistic assholes
How does the title victimize Google?.. It literally just summarizes the article, and then in the first sentence of the actual article they flat out call Google an illegal monopoly.
“Must crack open”
crack open has negative connotations. “Must allow” is a much more neutral way to phrase it.
“Epic Judge”
The judge isn’t epic’s, it’s just the judge that happens to be dealing with this case.
Judge:
Dudes: Whoa… epic!
Lots of Google cock Gobbler’s around here it seems
