Antitrust isn't necessarily about being evil. AT&T wasn't evil either, but they needed to be broken up. Apple's abusive app store policies, they are certainly worth looking at and they should probably be forced to allow for alternative app stores and maybe forced to have stronger support for Progressive Web Apps. That would be a reasonable remedy.
- chrismcb 6y agoDid the NEED to be broken up?
- chrisco255 6y agoDefinitely, and we've benefitted tremendously from the subsequent competition and innovation in telecom after that. Don't know if you realize this, but there used to be a time when you'd spend a lot of money just to make long distance phone calls. The fees charged were of course disproportionate to the cost of carrying those calls. They were rent-seekers, and deserved to be broken up.
