In the ongoing antitrust case involving Google and Epic Games, concerns have been raised regarding the financial ties of organizations supporting Google. The 9th Circuit Court recently heard arguments suggesting that these organizations should disclose any financial connections to Google. Professor Paul Collins Jr. from the University of Massachusetts Amherst noted that many of Google's supporters have not revealed any financial backing from the tech giant. Additionally, Professor Thom Lambert, who is involved in the case, defended himself against accusations of having financial ties to Google, stating he has never received any money from the company. Lambert expressed particular frustration over these false claims, emphasizing the importance of transparency in the legal proceedings. Reports have also emerged suggesting that Google may be compensating amici to submit numerous briefs in its favor, raising further questions about the integrity of the legal process.
