<p>Last month, we saw FlickType developer Kosta Eleftheriou take to Twitter to call out App Store scams (https://9to5mac.com/2021/02/11/app-store-scam-apps-how-to-spot/) with some reportedly lasting years and making millions of dollars. He later shared a detailed thread on how some developers abuse and game the App Store with fake ratings (https://9to5mac.com/2021/02/12/developer-reveals-fake-app-store-reviews-and-scams/) and reviews. Now Eleftheriou has filed a lawsuit with the claim that “Apple systematically flexes its monopoly muscle against potential competition through the App Store,” has breached its contract with developers, and more.</p>
