Google Play Store Trial: Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai Admits To 'Automatically' Not Retaining Documents

ABP News  

In a federal court session on Tuesday, Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai admitted to occasionally designating documents as "privileged" and maintaining a setting that caused internal conversations to automatically delete after one day. Pichai's appearance in a San Francisco court was part of Alphabet's Google defence against a lawsuit by Epic Games, alleging that the app store policies constitute an unlawful monopoly, leading to inflated consumer prices. A favourable verdict for Epic could significantly impact the app store business, where Google and Apple control app availability and receive a 30 per cent cut of in-app purchases and paid downloads. Separately, Pichai confirmed that Google pays Apple 36 per cent of search revenue on iOS to be the default search engine, a figure revealed during Google's ongoing antitrust trial in federal court in Washington, D.C.
