NH joins antitrust lawsuit against Google Play Store Published: 7/16/2021 5:43:31 PM New Hampshire has joined 35 other states and Washington, D.C., in an antitrust lawsuit against Google. Utah, North Carolina, New York and Tennessee are the lead plaintiffs in the suit, which was filed in federal court in the Northern District of California on Wednesday. It accuses Google of using its market position to unlawfully restrict competition with the Google Play app store and of driving up app prices. The suit alleges that, through its Google Play app store, Google maintains a monopoly in the Android app market and now distributes more than 90% of all Android apps in the country. Google also requires app developers to use Google Play Billing when distributing their products on Google Play and sometimes charges commissions as high as 30%.
