Epic is suing Google again and now Samsung, too

Four years after Google has sued Google's illegal monopoly in the appendix store, he won the Google in December last year because Epic sued Google -Epic again. The developer game, Fortnite, filed a second anti -trade lawsuit against Google, and Samsung accused Samsung of illegal conspiracy to impair the applicant in the third party. 

The lawsuit revolves around Samsung's "Auto Blocker" feature, which is now enabled by default on new Samsung phones. When enabled, it automatically blocks users from installing apps unless they come from "authorized sources," namely the Google and Samsung app stores. EPIC says that there is no process to be a "certified person" for any opponent.

When Epic filed his first test to Google and Apple in August 2020, he had not yet had its own mobile application store. Currently, on August 16th, he launched the Epic Games store on the world's Android and the European Union's iPhone. The EU Digital Market Law has forced Apple to resolve an alternative store. But a month before it could launch its own store, Epic alleges, Samsung suddenly decided to make Auto Blocker more or less on-by-default  making it harder for new phone buyers to install competing apps themselves.

Epic claims it now requires “an exceptionally onerous 21-step process” to download a third-party app store onto a Samsung phone, making it that much more likely users will give up somewhere along the way. While “21 steps” seems like an exaggeration to me (Epic’s own website claims turning off Auto Blocker takes just four!) I can see the company’s point when I try it on my own Samsung phone. Not only does Auto Blocker prevent me from installing the new Epic Games Store, the “can’t install app” pop-up no longer tells me how to turn Auto Blocker off. 

There are no appropriate search results when looking for "erasing automatic blocking" on a universal line of Samsung search. If you are looking for an "automatic liner", you need to check and turn off some additional screens. One of them asks if the lock car says, "The lock car is guaranteed by blocking threats and other suspicious activities."

Today, the epic claims that security promises are completely false. "Automatic stations do not perform the security or security of certain sources before blocking the installation," he states legal complaints. “This thing is not designed to protect against malware, which would be a legitimate goal,” says Epic CEO Tim Sweeney. “This thing is designed to prevent competition.”
