Apple and Google are the target of a class action lawsuit in the US, accusing them of facilitating illegal gambling by hosting ‘sweepstakes’ casino applications on their platforms. The plaintiffs claim that the two technology giants profit from these activities by taking commissions on integrated purchases, processing financial transactions and using targeted advertising algorithms to attract vulnerable users. This RICO-based lawsuit could redefine the responsibility of digital platforms for the content they distribute.
