Judge James Donato intends to dismantle Google’s Android app store monopoly, following an earlier ruling declaring it illegal.
Google argued that opening its store to competitors would be too costly and complex, but the judge dismissed this claim, emphasizing that barriers will be removed.
Proposed remedies include banning discriminatory practices against rival app stores and setting up a committee to monitor compliance and report regularly.

it's too hard and costly? oh no problem! we'll take that headache right off your hands so you don't have to worry your pretty little head about it. is there anything else that's causing too much trouble for you that you'd like nationalized?

i know it wouldn't happen but I'm allowed to fantasize

All marketplaces should be nationalized. App store, Amazon, food delivery apps. They are inherently anti-free market.
