Google sued by 36 states, DC over alleged antitrust violations in app store

A group of state attorneys general filed a lawsuit against Google on Wednesday, alleging the company's Play store for Android apps violates antitrust laws. The suit focuses on the 30% fee Google charges developers for selling digital goods and services via its Play. As of July 1, that fee dropped to 15% until developers hit $1 million in revenue for the year. The new lawsuit, reported earlier by Politico, mirrors one filed last year against Google by Epic Games, developer of the popular battle royale game Fortnite.
