That’s a hilariously bad comparison.
If my electricity company starts fucking around, people might literally freeze to death.
Apple store is not at all like a public utility, it would be downright madness to regulate it like such. Public utilities have very real impact on the lives of the public, Apple tax doesn’t.
- criddell 5y agoHow about if your telephone company starts fucking around? As more services are provided through apps, the stakes grow. I agree with you that it shouldn’t be regulated like a utility. I’m saying that Apples obstinance is going to lead them there.
- rosndo 5y ago> How about if your telephone company starts fucking around? If emergency calls don’t work, people die. Phone calls not working would have significant economic impact too, although less so nowadays. The transactions covered by Apple Tax only pay a significant part in some developers lives, they don’t matter to the public in the same way utilities do. > I’m saying that Apples obstinance is going to lead them there. Unlikely, the iOS appdev lobbyists don’t have that kind of pull.
