This judge actually fully understand how companies abuse two sided marketplaces and is thus forcing Google to open up both sides of the marketplace to competition. Both forcing Google to host new app stores inside the Play store so that they’re visible to consumers, and forcing Google to allow those app stores to distribute the Google Play apps so that the app stores aren’t crippled by a lack of developers.
This is a way way way bigger win than I could ever have hoped for.

That’s actually fucking crazy for an american judge. Hope it actually happens.
Yeah, it would not surprise me if the Supreme Court blocked it for being too reasonable.
I’m hoping that supreme court is too tech deaf to even understand the implications this has on corps, and so that they don’t take this ruling back
