Google has formally requested a U.S. appeals court to overturn a jury verdict that requires the company to modify its Google Play app store in response to an antitrust case initiated by Epic Games in August 2020. The case accuses Google and Apple of stifling competition by blocking rival app stores. This legal action is part of a broader scrutiny of the practices of major technology firms regarding their app distribution platforms. In a related development, Apple and Google have also been named in a RICO class action lawsuit concerning online sweepstakes casinos, which introduces additional legal challenges for both companies.
