Google agrees to settle UK app developers' lawsuit for $353 million

The claim, which was previously valued at just over £1 billion, sought compensation on behalf of developers who sold apps ‌on Google's ⁠Play ⁠Store in the United Kingdom. Lawyers for academic Barry Rodger, who led the ​case, alleged Google had abused its dominant position to prevent developers from ​distributing apps by alternative means and by charging an unfair commission, usually 30%.
