- vorpalhex 5y agoCool, let me install linux or android on my iphone then.
- stale2002 5y agoIt is also our choice to use anti-competition laws, to require Apple to not engage in anti-competitive practices. If you don't like it, then feel free to vote for something else (but if you lose the vote, thought luck), or move to a different country. Your choice.
- zepto 5y agoThe practices aren’t anti-competitive. That’s just it. This is all about a few other multi-billion dollar companies trying to take money for something they didn’t build. It’s laughably naive to think this is about individual citizens voting for completion law.
- stale2002 5y ago> The practices aren’t anti-competitive. Actually, a judge already found that at least some of Apple's practices were anti-competitive, and order them to stop. So yes, in at least one trial, some of Apple's actions were declared anti-competitive. > voting for completion law This thread is actually literally about a law that was created. And more laws are being created right now, in south korea, the EU, and the USA, and those laws would require Apple to change more of it's behavior. But also, as I mentioned before, a judge literally already found some of Apple's behavior to be illegally anti competitive.
- zepto 5y agoThe judge found almost all of apple’s practices to be ok and not to be anti-competitive. They were ordered to stop only the narrowest of behaviors. If you think that means you can just claim any practice of theirs is anti-competitive then you don’t understand.
- stale2002 5y agoDid you read the part where I said "So yes, in at least one trial, some of Apple's actions were declared anti-competitive."? I didn't say "any" practices. I said some. So yes, some of Apple's practices were anti-competitive. Apple has to win on every single count, otherwise it is a loss compared to the status quo, because that is 1 less thing they are allowed to do. So yes, Apple is at the stage where already "some" of it's practices have been declared anti-competitive. And more lawsuits and laws are happening or being drafted. In fact, the Open Apps Market app just went through the senate committee yesterday, in a rare bipartisan 20 to 2 decision, which would force sideloading of alternate App stores, I believe. If that law passes, it is game over for Apple on this subject. If that passes, there is basically nothing Apple can do to prevent everyone from completely bypassing the 30% fee.
