Google has escalated its legal battle against recent court rulings Epic and Googlecalled on the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals to temporarily halt implementation of the changes authorized by Judge James Donato. The company is seeking an emergency stay to block enforcement of the ruling, which would require Google to Android ecosystem.
The ruling on Google’s challenge to this will be:
* Force companies to distribute third-party app stores internally Google Play
* Eliminate the following requirements Google Play Billing Applications distributed through Google Play
* and implement other changes.
The changes were scheduled to take effect on November 1, just a few weeks away.
Google argued in its appeal that the court-ordered changes posed a threat to the security of the Android platform. The company believes that allowing third-party app stores within Google Play would compromise user privacy and increase the risk of malware spreading. Furthermore, Google claims that removing the requirement for Google Play Billing will jeopardize user protection and functionality. Google said the three weeks to implement the first set of changes would create “unacceptable risks of safety and security failures within the Android ecosystem,” and the document even noted what happened mass strike A few weeks ago, as a warning against “moving too fast.”
Key points of Google’s appeal:
Security and Privacy Issues: Google argued that forcing it to distribute third-party app stores within Google Play would compromise user security and privacy. The company believes this will increase the risk of users downloading malware and other malicious applications.
Reduced developer control: According to Google, giving hundreds of third-party Android app stores access to Google Play’s app catalog will reduce developer control over app distribution. This, in turn, could make it more difficult for developers to monitor and manage their applications, putting users at risk.
Dangerous external links: Google considers it dangerous to allow apps on Google Play to link to external app downloads. The company believes this could lead to users downloading apps from untrusted sources, which could expose them to malware or other security risks.
Reduced user protections: Google says removing Google Play Billing as an option will reduce important protections and features that users rely on. These protections include in-app purchase security, parental controls, and fraud prevention.
Risks of hasty implementation: Google believes that rushing to implement court-ordered changes will create risks for users, developers, and device manufacturers. The company believes more time is needed to ensure changes are implemented in a way that minimizes disruption and maximizes benefits.
Google’s appeal echoed many of the arguments it made in the original trial, which Judge Donato ultimately dismissed. The company insists that implementation of the ruling will have a negative impact on Android users, developers and device manufacturers.
