- The European Court of Justice dismissed Google's final appeal on July 2, confirming the €4.1 billion Android antitrust fine. - The ruling that forced pre-installation of Search and Chrome is abuse of dominance has been firmly established, tightening regulations on app distribution, alternative markets, and in-app payments. - However, the ruling alone does not change the flow of money. - Only teams prepared to change payment modules and distribution routes can keep the portions that previously left the platform as their own earnings.
