Judge doesn’t buy Google’s ‘terrifying world of chaos’ argument in Epic case


“We are going to be walking on new terrain for a while.”

Epic is hoping the court approves several remedies it had previously submitted, which Google claims are over the top and would “harm the privacy, security, and overall experience of consumers.” So all eyes are on Judge James Donato, who heard testimony on both sides and offered some hints as to how he’s leaning. Donato also took issue with what he said was Google’s attempt to show “a terrifying world of chaos” if the proposed remedies were made to app store markets. Google has appealed the verdict and argued that the suggested remedies are unnecessary due to Play Store changes it’s already introduced to settle a separate$700 million monopoly suit in December — a case Donato also oversees.
