Well, I’ll be damned. They finally won one it sounds like.

    If I had to guess, probably for the same reason you can’t sue for not being able to pick what apps you install on your toaster.

    Google probably opened themselves up to this monopoly shit by trying not to be as much of a monopoly as Apple is trying to be.

    I’ve heard a lot of lawyers say that the law punishes virtually every good behavior because that behavior can be construed in a way that you can be sued for, and that it favors being a dick more than anything. In this case, that might be what happened?

    I mean, not that Google is a saint at all.

        Lawyers are bad, but I’m starting to think Judges can easily be worse. You get the ‘wrong’ judge assigned to your case and you’re done. Increasing political polarization in every aspect of life is highlighting how biased these people remain.
