A US federal judge, James Donato, is deliberating on proposed changes to Google's Android app store to prevent anticompetitive tactics. This follows a recent jury finding that Google breached antitrust laws. The case involves Alphabet's Google and 'Fortnite' maker Epic Games, who faced off in court. Judge Donato hinted on Thursday that Google, deemed an illegal monopolist, may have to pay penalties. The proposed changes specifically target the Play Store.
