- yxhuvud 5y agoAnti trust legislation doesn't require monopolies, just uncompetitive practices. Which is something monopolies can help facilitate, but it is not a requirement.
- rubyist5eva 5y agoApple is not being anti-competitive, competitors are free to go play in Google's play ground. The iphone started with no third party apps, Apple has zero obligation to anyone. Apple's walled garden approach is differentiator against its competitors. Forcing them to act like everyone else is anti-competition because you are removing my choice to willingly buy into that walled garden.
- jjcon 5y agoWhere did I say they were? I said antitrust which means anticompetitive. If you don’t like the law take it up with the governments in the EU, US and Australia.
