Attorney General Todd Rokita announces $700 million settlement with Google over Play Store misconduct

0

Attorney General Todd Rokita today announced a $700 million agreement with Google in a lawsuit over Google’s anticompetitive conduct with the Google Play Store.

“When companies unlawfully monopolize markets, they cause real harm to Hoosiers,” Attorney General Rokita said. “They rob consumers of the ability to choose from a wider array of product options that would otherwise be available, and they artificially inflate the prices of the choices that remain available. This settlement demonstrates our commitment to protect consumers and hold companies accountable.”

A bipartisan group of 53 attorneys general sued Google in 2021 alleging that Google unlawfully monopolized the markets for Android app distribution and in-app payment processing. Specifically, the states claimed that Google signed anticompetitive contracts to prevent other app stores from being preloaded on Android devices, induced key app developers who might have launched rival app stores, and created technological barriers to deter consumers from directly downloading apps to their devices.

The states announced a settlement in principle on Sept. 5, 2023, and today released the finalized terms of that deal.

Google will pay $630 million in restitution, minus costs and fees, to consumers who made purchases on the Google Play Store between August 2016 and September 2023 and were harmed by Google’s anticompetitive practices. Google will pay the states an additional $70 million in penalties.

People eligible for restitution do not have to submit a claim. They will receive automatic payments through PayPal or Venmo, or they can elect to receive a check or ACH transfer. More details about that process will be forthcoming.

The agreement also requires Google to reform its business practices in the following ways:

  • Give all developers the ability to allow users to pay through in-app billing systems other than Google Play Billing for at least five years.
  • Allow developers to offer cheaper prices for their apps and in-app products for consumers who use alternative, non-Google billing systems for at least five years.
  • Permit developers to steer consumers toward alternative, non-Google billing systems by advertising cheaper prices within their apps themselves for at least five years.
  • Not enter contracts that require the Play Store to be the exclusive, pre-loaded app store on a device or home screen for at least five years.
  • Allow the installation of third-party apps on Android phones from outside the Google Play Store for at least seven years.
  • Revise and reduce the warnings that appear on an Android device if a user attempts to download a third-party app from outside the Google Play Store for at least 5 years.
  • Maintain Android system support for third-party app stores, including allowing automatic updates, for four years.
  • Not require developers to launch their app catalogs on the Play Store at the same time as they launch on other app stores for at least four years.
  • Submit compliance reports to an independent monitor who will ensure that Google is not continuing its anticompetitive conduct for at least 5 years.

For much of this case, the attorneys general litigated alongside Epic Games and Match, two major app developers. Match announced a separate settlement earlier this year, while Epic Games took its case to trial. Early last week, a jury unanimously found that Google’s anticompetitive conduct violated federal antitrust laws.

Attorneys general from all 50 states participated in this lawsuit — along with attorneys general from the District of Columbia and the territories of Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands.

0

VINCENNES, Ind. – The Vincennes University Lady Trailblazers picked up their fourth straight win Tuesday night in the Physical Education Complex after defeating Jefferson College 69-67 in the final game for the Lady Blazers before the holiday break.

VU got off to an excellent start in front of the home crowd, looking for revenge against the Lady Vikings after falling at Jefferson College 71-58 two weeks ago.

Vincennes opened the game by taking an 11-3 lead before JeffCo answered back to even the game with an 8-0 scoring run.

The Lady Vikings would take the lead at 20-15 and hold on to end the first quarter of play holding a 22-16 advantage over Vincennes.

VU looked to battle back in the second quarter, opening the period by outscoring Jefferson 12-4 and taking the lead back at 28-26.

Jefferson would again close out another quarter strong, outscoring the Lady Blazers 7-1 to head into the halftime break leading VU 33-29.

The game completely shifted back to VU to open the second half of action, with Vincennes grabbing the early momentum by scoring the first 13 points of the third quarter and taking a 42-33 lead.

VU would continue to expand the lead by opening the third quarter on a 20-4 scoring run to take their largest lead of the game at 52-37 midway through the third period.

Jefferson would again answer back and refuse to go away quietly, using a 13-2 scoring run to cut the VU lead back down to four.

The Lady Blazers would then score the final four points of the quarter to take a 58-50 lead into the final 10 minutes of play.

The fourth quarter got off to a slow start for the Lady Blazers which allowed Jefferson College to again slowly chip away at the VU lead.

The Lady Vikings would use a late 9-0 scoring run to grab the lead back with just over a minute to play at 67-66.

VU freshman Destinee Hooks (Indianapolis, Ind.) then drove down the court to finish off a layup and take the lead back for Vincennes at 68-67.

Hooks would then help seal the game by hitting one of two from the free throw line on the next possession, giving the Lady Blazers a two-point lead with three seconds left.

Looking for a last second shot, the Lady Vikings were unable to get the ball inbounds cleanly as time expired and the Lady Blazers pick up their fourth straight win and head into the holiday break with a 7-7 record overall.

The Lady Blazers were led by Destinee Hooks who recorded her first collegiate double-double with 24 points, 10 rebounds and three assists.

Freshman Karina Scott (Noblesville, Ind.) came off the bench to score in double-figures, ending with 13 points and three assists.

Freshman Makyla Tucker (Indianapolis, Ind.) was the third VU scorer in double-figures, coming off the bench to add 10 points and a pair of steals.

Sophomore Brie Miller (Bainbridge, Ind.) had another big night on the boards, recording 10 rebounds on the night to go along with six points, three assists and a pair of steals.

Sophomore Elikya Baseyila (Paris, France) battled through some first half foul trouble to end with six points and eight rebounds, while fellow sophomore Maycee Lange (Vincennes, Ind.) ended her night with seven rebounds and a team-high five steals.

Sophomore Katrina Litte (Valmiera, Latvia) helped move the VU offense around with a team-high four assists to go along with six points and three steals.

The Lady Trailblazers now have a long break over the holidays before returning to the court in 2024 when VU hosts Region 24 opponent John A. Logan College in the Physical Education Complex Saturday, Jan. 13 at 2 p.m. eastern.

SENATOR MIKE BRAUN, COLLEAGUES INTRODUCE BILL TO HOLD ATF ACCOUNTABLE, GIVE CERTAINTY TO GUN OWNERS AND MANUFACTURERS

0

WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Mike Braun reintroduced the ATF Accountability Act to provide transparency to gun owners across America on rules made by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF). The ATF engages in a secretive classification review process where the agency makes decisions about whether a particular firearm is regulated by the National Firearms Act. Decisions and justification for decisions are often only made available to manufacturers in private correspondence. This causes a lot of uncertainty for both gun-owning Americans and firearm manufacturers, especially in combination with the ATF’s refusal to make final public rules regarding classification.

Senators Barrasso, Cramer, Crapo, Daines, Hawley, Hoeven, Hyde-Smith, Lankford, Lummis, Marshall, Mullin, Risch, and R. Scott cosponsored the legislation.

“American gun owners and manufacturers have been left in the dark for far too long with closed-door rule changes by the ATF. Americans exercising their Second Amendment rights shouldn’t be the last to know the classification status of firearms, or what licenses or tax stamps they need to avoid running afoul of the law. The ATF needs accountability and transparency, which this bill accomplishes.” – Sen. Braun 

“Every day, people in Wyoming responsibly use their Second Amendment rights to keep and bear arms. For far too long, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) has had regulations that keep responsible gun owners and manufacturers in the dark. Any attempt to stop law-abiding citizens from appealing unfair rulings must be stopped dead in its tracks. I will continue to stand up against any policies that threaten our Second Amendment rights.”—Sen. Barrasso

“Ensuring fair administrative procedures is vital for law-abiding gun owners. The Biden administration’s use of crushing regulatory tactics, like the ATF’s secretive classification process, has deprived citizens’ constitutional right to bear arms and created uncertainty for manufacturers. We need to ensure transparency within the ATF, promote timely access to classification decisions, and fix the absence of an appeal process for manufacturers facing classification errors.”—Sen. Cramer 

“Increasing transparent review and an appeals process for rulings and determinations made by the ATF would ensure that firearms manufacturers and lawful gun owners are not subject to unchecked bureaucratic rulings.  Burdening law-abiding citizens of this country with additional gun restrictions is not the answer to safeguarding the public.”—Sen. Crapo

“For too long unelected bureaucrats at the ATF in Washington, DC have been making decisions on the classification status of firearms behind closed doors. We need transparency and accountability at the ATF so law abiding Montana gun owners and gun manufacturers are never left in the dark.”—Sen. Daines 

“The ATF owes nothing less than transparency to law-abiding gun owners exercising their Second Amendment rights and all Americans in general.  For the past few years, its secretive rule making processes and lack of accountability have threatened those constitutional rights. Our bill would work to level the playing field for American gun owners, dealers, and manufacturers affected by these unacceptable ATF rules and determinations.”—Sen. Hyde-Smith

“Our legislation would better protect the 2nd Amendment rights of law-abiding Americans from federal overreach and provide an important check on the ATF’s classification process.”—Sen. Hoeven

“Oklahomans attempting to navigate the quagmire of federal regulations on firearm manufacturing are tired of getting uncertain and inconsistent decisions from the ATF because the Biden Administration does not want Americans to have guns. ATF needs to have clear guidance on firearm classifications so manufacturers and purchasers have the information they need, when they need it. Our bill holds the ATF accountable for their unclear and inconsistent rulemakings and ensures we can bring transparency to the process.”—Sen. Lankford 

“D.C. bureaucrats cannot be allowed to criminalize law-abiding gun owners with the stroke of a pen behind closed doors. Protecting the Second Amendment has never been more important after Senate Democrats attempted to jam through an assault-weapons ban just last week. The ATF Accountability Act strengthens the people of Wyoming’s constitutional right to bear arms by creating a pathway to legally challenge any new restrictive regulations.”—Sen. Lummis

“Biden’s gun-grabbing ATF refuses to provide transparency on its secretive review process for firearms. This legislation is necessary to provide an appeals process for manufacturers and create transparency for law-abiding gun-owners to know the legal status of their firearms. I’m proud to join Senator Braun in bringing this issue to light and fighting for American gun owners and manufacturers.”—Sen. Marshall

“The ATF’s ability to designate firearms behind closed doors puts law abiding gun owners and firearms manufacturers in a difficult and sometimes impossible situation. The ATF Accountability Act will stop the agency’s secretive classification process, create accountability, and empower gun owners and manufacturers to appeal rulings.”—Sen. Risch 

“The Biden administration and the far-left continue to push overreaching policies that infringe on our rights by placing more and more regulations and red tape on American businesses that support the 2nd Amendment. I’m proud to join my colleagues to push back on these efforts and hold the administration accountable with our ATF Accountability Act.”—Sen. Rick Scott

The ATF Accountability Act :

  • Creates an appeals process following a ruling by ATF with specific regular timeframes
  • Permits gun manufacturers to appeal the legal status or classification of any product by filing with the Director of Industry Operations with jurisdiction. After which, the appeal is directed to an administrative law judge
