A group of 36 states and Washington, D.C., filed a lawsuit against Google on Wednesday targeting the tech giant’s control of its Android app store.
Eight states — Arizona, Colorado, Iowa, Nebraska, New York, North Carolina, Tennessee and Utah — are leading the antitrust suit, which was filed in California federal court, Politico reported.
The lawsuit challenges Google’s plan to force all app developers who use the Google Play Store to pay a 30 percent commission on sales of digital goods or services. Would you support President Trump if he ran again in 2024? Promoted Content
It is the first to challenge Google’s control in the mobile app store market and will be heard by U.S. District Judge James Donato of the Northern District of California, an appointee of former President Barack Obama.
The states and D.C. — which have a mix of Republican and Democratic leaders — said Google has a monopoly in the market for distributing apps on the Android operating system, controlling 90 percent of the market.

The lawsuit said Google favors its Play Store and gives developers “no reasonable choice” but to distribute through it, The Washington Post reported.

“Google has taken steps to close the ecosystem from competition and insert itself as the middleman between app developers and consumers,” the states’ attorneys general said.
The states said Google’s control has harmed consumers and app developers, especially as it plans to take a commission for in-app purchases.“Google has served as the gatekeeper of the internet for many years, but, more recently, it has also become the gatekeeper of our digital devices — resulting in all of us paying more for the software we use every day,” New York Attorney General Letitia James said in a statement .“Once again, we are seeing Google use its dominance to illegally quash competition and profit to the tune of billions,” she said. “Through its illegal conduct, the company has ensured that hundreds of millions of […]

Yes, We Need Your Help
I hate being “that guy” who asks people to donate because I think our conservative news network is so crucial, but here I am…
When I left my cushy corporate job in 2017, I did so knowing that my family would have to make sacrifices. But I couldn’t continue to watch the nation slip into oblivion and was inspired by President Trump’s willingness to fight the good fight even at his own personal expense. What I didn’t realize then is that conservative media would be so heavily attacked, canceled, and defunded that the sacrifices would be extreme.
Many in this nation are struggling right now even though we weren’t struggling just a few years ago. I’m not alone. But I wake up every morning and operate the sites we’ve been able to build because there’s really no other choice. I refuse to be beholden to Big Tech like so many other conservative news outlets, which is why you won’t see Google ads here. With that said, it’s often challenging to pay the bills and it’s even harder to expand so we can get the America First message out to a wider audience.
The economic downturn has forced me to make a plea for help. Between cancel culture, lockdowns, and diminishing ad revenue, we need financial assistance in order to continue to spread the truth. We ask all who have the means, please donate through our Giving Fuel. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to expand our reach so the truth can get to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
We currently operate:
- NOQ Report
- Conservative Playlist
- Uncanceled News
- Based Underground
- Five other conservative news sites
I would even be willing to entertain investments and partnerships at this stage. I’ve turned them down in the past because editorial purity is extremely important. I’ll turn them down again if anyone wants us to start supporting RINOs or avoid “taboo” topics like voter fraud, vaccines, or transgender supremacy. But I’d talk to fellow America First patriots who want to help any (or all) of our 10 news sites. Hit me up at jdrucker (at) substack (dot) com if you’re interested.
For those who have the means and just want to help keep the mission of spreading a conservative, Christian message to the nation, please consider a generous donation.
