Google to fight £1bn hidden app charges claim
Original: Google to fight 'hidden' app charges claim seeking £1bn damages https://www.standard.co.uk/news/uk/google-apple-citizens
Google says it will contest a £1 billion damages claim in the UK alleging the company charged app developers hidden fees. The case, which has drawn comparisons with similar action against Apple and backing from Citizens Advice, argues consumers ultimately bore the cost of excessive commissions on the Play Store. Google disputes the allegations and says its fees are fair and transparent.
Why now: The lawsuit is one of the largest consumer claims against a tech giant in the UK and could reshape app store pricing.
