FL-AG v. Google

Google allegedly uses exclusionary conduct relating to the Google Play Store and Google Billing. According to FL-AG, Google appears to use its dominance to unfairly restrict competition with the Google Play Store, harming consumers by limiting choice and driving up app prices. Google allegedly requires app developers to use Google Billing as a middleman, forcing app consumers to pay Google’s commission on in-app purchases. According to the lawsuit, Google's exclusionary conduct substantially shuts out competing app distribution channels. The lawsuit alleges that Google appears to work to discourage or prevent competition, violating federal and state antitrust laws.
