4:45 am
and device makers to freely promote alternatives to google play and to google's billing tools. >> epic ceo writing victory over google and free fortnite. in the coming months, a judge will decide whether to order changes to google's business practices, which could mean big changes for the app store used by hundreds of millions of people worldwide. >> one of the big things that could come about here for users is more options in terms of apps at lower prices. >> but google is vowing to appeal the verdict, saying the trial made clear that we compete fiercely with apple and its app store, as well as app stores on android devices and gaming consoles. epic previously lost a similar legal fight against apple concerning apps on the iphone due to different business structures. as for google, the justice department and dozens of states are also suing the company, claiming it maintains a monopoly in search and advertising. that case could be decided next year. >> youtube is the most popular social media site for teens, with a new survey finding 93% use the site regularly. 1 in 5 teens say they're on youtube and tiktok almost constantly, their
