In a development reported by ABC News, Epic Games has achieved a partial triumph in its battle against the app store policies of Apple and Google. On Tuesday, the Federal Court of Australia decided that both Apple and Google engaged in anti-competitive practices within their respective app store operations. Judge Jonathan Beach concluded that the two technology giants misused their dominant positions in the app distribution market to stifle competition, while dismissing Epic's accusations of "misconduct" against the companies. This ruling could have profound implications for the operations of digital platforms in Australia and paves the way for potential compensation for Australian consumers and app developers.
