JAKARTA - Last September, Google had to settle a class action lawsuit filed by more than 30 US states over the antitrust case of the Play Store in the US.

Google is accused of harming consumers by burdening application developers so consumers have to pay more to use the app on the Play Store. Although Google denies the allegations, the Play Store owner must solve the case.

For court filings, Google must compensate consumers and allow greater competition on the Play Store. When this settlement was proposed, Google did not immediately agree.

After several months of waiting, Google finally agreed to resolve the case. The company will pay $700 (Rp10.8 trillion) to consumers and all states involved.

From details, Reuters.630 million US dollars (Rp9.7 trillion) will be submitted as a consumer settlement fund, while the remaining 70 million US dollars (Rp1.08 trillion) will be handed over for use by the state.

On the other hand, Google has also just finished a trial with Epic Games due to a monopoly problem on the Play Store. According to Epic Games claims, Google is pressing app developers in its digital stores to use payment tools from Google.

In addition, Google also asks paid app developers to provide 30 percent of their income. For this lawsuit, Epic Games was declared victorious on Monday, December 11.
