Android developer class action suit targets Play Store and its 30% transaction fee
The suit needs approval from federal court
Epic Games is waging legal war against Apple and Google for what it calls the exorbitant 30% revenue share those companies make on every app and in-app purchase. Indeed, every developer finds themselves paying the piper for the privilege of using what may arguably be the only practical commerce platforms of Android and iOS, but they don't usually have the means to file a suit. Now, though, one law firm is attempting to round up the aggrieved with proposed class-action litigation against Google.

Google Play apps promised free shoes, but users got ad fraud malware instead
White Ops discovers a collection of Android apps that installed a hidden browser to load ad-heavy pages and commit ad fraud.
Google has removed an undisclosed number of Android applications from the official Google Play Store that the company says were part of an ad fraud botnet.
Named Terracotta, this botnet was discovered by the Satori mobile security team at White Ops, a security firm specialized in identifying bot behavior.
White Ops researchers said they've been tracking Terracotta since late 2019 when the botnet seems to have become active.
