This is a naive take on the situation. Sure they are both companies and looking to make money but this issue transcends both of them and is a core freedom of choice issue. As a society are we allowed to run software that we want or are we okay with being told which software is deemed acceptable for us? This question would be thorny if it even were a political issue but at this point it's literally a private corporation with no accountability unilaterally deciding what software is deemed worthy of use for a large portion of the entire world. That's dangerous and not at all a good place to be in.
- jdmoreira 6y agoIt has been like that for 10 years since the start of the Appstore. The difference now is that these platforms are getting big enough that public opinion are starting to look at them as classical infrastructure / utilities. That’s why it needs to be regulated and I agree with that 100%. But Apple is obviously just one example among thousands. Even Epic runs their own marketplace.
