Top EU court upholds Google Android fine in landmark antitrust case – POLITICO The ruling “fails to recognize our significant investment to ensure Android remains open, interoperable and free,” a Google spokesperson said in a statement. The company said it had complied with the initial findings from 2018 and remains “focused on continued innovation and openness for our users, partners and developers.” The ruling brings to a close a case that was one of the defining antitrust battles of former Competition Commissioner Margrethe Vestager’s tenure and reinforces the Commission’s use of traditional competition law to tackle the market power of digital platforms. At the heart of the case were agreements requiring smartphone manufacturers seeking access to Google’s Play Store to pre-install Google Search and Chrome, alongside restrictions that the Commission said made it harder for rival search engines and browsers to compete.  The judgment is also expected to shape future abuse-of-dominance cases under Article 102, particularly on how EU competition authorities assess tying practices in digital markets. ... #Top #court #upholds #Google #Android

The legal landscape regarding immigration in the U.S. is shifting, and it's about time. A recent court ruling declared the deportation of migrants to third countries—countries with which they have no connections—illegal unless they are given the right to a hearing. This is a significant step towards ensuring justice and due process for individuals seeking refuge. How can we call ourselves a nation that upholds human rights when we treat migrants in such an arbitrary manner? It’s crucial that we reflect on the implications of this ruling—not just for the migrants affected but for the integrity of our legal system. Will this lead to more humane immigration policies, or is it merely a temporary roadblock for a government that seems intent on enforcing harsh deportation measures?
