A trial in the Google Play monopoly case could be an opportunity to compel Google to stop its anticompetitive practices through court order.
alike. The suit identified the use of unlawful tactics, such as Google’s abuse of restrictive contract agreements to entrench its monopoly—and identified harms to consumers and developers, such as Google’s “extravagant commission” on in-app sales. With so few tech giants controlling smartphones and their operating systems, these exploitative harms are unreasonably hard to avoid—except for the rare few living off the modern grid.
Regulators in other jurisdictions from South Korea to Europe have recognized Google’s undue power in the app store market. In fact, earlier this month the European Union designated the “Google Play” app store a “gatekeeper” under the Digital Markets Act, deserving of further scrutiny and subject to stringent requirements that it not engage in certain anticompetitive practices.
We hope that the terms of the “proposed order and tentative settlement” benefit the public and compel an end to Google’s anticompetitive app store practices—but the fact that this public verification is being thwarted by secrecy around the proposed settlement is disturbing.
