Rob took on Google in a multistate antitrust lawsuit and won. Today, it
was announced that Google will pay a settlement of $700 million for its
anticompetitive behavior and monopolization of the Android smartphone
application market.

Google took advantage of Android phone customers by restricting consumer
choice, capitalizing on commissions for in-app purchases, and limiting
other ways to download apps — resulting in consumers facing limited
options and inflated prices.

Now, Google is paying the price and will provide monetary compensation to
consumers in California who made purchases on the Google Play Store
between August 2016 and September 2023 and were affected by the tech
giant’s anticompetitive behavior.

This settlement sends a clear message: Rob and the California Department
of Justice are committed to protecting consumers, holding big tech
accountable, enforcing antitrust laws, and ensuring a fair and competitive
market.
