Do you agree with the federal jury’s decision that found Google’s Play Store represents an illegal monopoly?

👍 Yes (54%) – "The Apple and Google stores control most if not all of the Apps available to users. They purposely buy or force competitors out of the market."

• "In conjunction with the ways Google and Apple attempt to limit their users to only their products, yes, I do consider that a monopoly."

"There’s no way you can say Google doesn’t have a monopoly in the market! From automatic installations to watches to phones that are ALWAYS listening… Someone please explain to me how this massive company isn’t a dangerous, greedy monopoly willing to do whatever it takes to earn more money. They have no ethics and they are an insidious threat to American democracy."

• "While I love having a universal App Store for Android, the fact that they can dictate the terms and are so exploitive is a signal they are manipulative."

👎 No (21%) – "The decision should not be different between Apple and Google, both doing the same thing and as Google points out Apple has a bigger share of the market."

• "Running an App Store costs money like any other store. EPIC would have to pay to use any store front to market their games."

🤷 Unsure/other (25%) – "I don't have enough information at this time, but it seems to me Google and Apple do the same thing."

• "I need to do more research on the topic, but it's pretty surprising to me that courts ruled one way for Apple and another way for Google."
