On this day, March 28, 1942, Japanese-American lawyer Minoru Yasui (1916-1986) violated a military curfew in Portland, Oregon, and demanded to be arrested after he was refused enlistment to fight for the US. He was one of the few Japanese Americans who fought laws that directly targeted Japanese Americans or Japanese immigrants following the bombing of Pearl Harbor. In 2015 he was among 17 people awarded the presidential Medal of Freedom.

Also on this day March 28, 1939, the front page of the Eugene Register-Guard blared the headline: "Mighty Oregon Scramble Ohio State to Take Hoop Title of All America," right under a declaration that the Spanish War had ended, of course.

Oregon Attorney General Joins Suit Against Google
Lawsuit Says Google Illegally Maintains App Store Monopoly

Oregon Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum and 36 other Attorneys General have filed a lawsuit against Google in California, alleging exclusionary conduct relating to the Google Play Store for Android mobile devices and Google Billing. The Attorneys General also accuse Google of using its dominance to unfairly restrict competition with the Google Play Store, harming consumers by limiting choice and driving up app prices.

“Over time, Google’s anti-competitive behavior has gotten worse,” said Attorney General Rosenblum. “There is no doubt that how we interact with our smartphones is ingrained in every aspect of our lives. It impacts our well-being, our children’s education, our everyday lives. Today’s filing is about ensuring one of the biggest tech powers behind our screens plays by the rules.”

The lawsuit follows on the heels of former President Donald Trump's lawsuit against the major tech giants for monopoly behavior in molding public opinion.

The heart of the lawsuit centers on Google’s exclusionary conduct, which shuts out competing app distribution channels. The AGs also allege in the lawsuit that: In addition to Oregon, this multi-state lawsuit is joined by Utah, Arizona, Colorado, Iowa, Nebraska, New York, North Carolina, Tennessee, Alaska, Arkansas, Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, District of Columbia, Florida, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maryland, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, and West Virginia.
