A US judge has ordered Alphabet's Google to make changes to its mobile app business, giving Android users more options for downloading apps and paying for in-app transactions. The injunction follows a jury verdict last year in favor of Epic Games, the maker of Fortnite.

REUTERS/Steve Marcus/File PhotoA U.S. judge on Monday ordered Alphabet's Google to overhaul its mobile app business to give Android users more options to download apps and to pay for transactions within them, following a jury verdict last year for “Fortnite” maker Epic Games.

Donato said at an earlier hearing that he would establish a three-person compliance and technical committee to implement and monitor the injunction. The Cary, North Carolina-based company persuaded a jury in December 2023 that Google unlawfully stifled competition through its controls over app distribution and payments, paving the way for Donato's injunction.

“You’re going to end up paying something to make the world right after having been found to be a monopolist,” he told Google's lawyers.
