Can you give an example of where this happened?
- thatwasunusual 4y agoHeard of Google? The latest, and biggest one, is probably when 3K+ companies sued the Trump administration over the Chinese tariffs.[0] [0] https://www.reuters.com/article/usa-china-tariffs-idUSKCN26H03S https://www.reuters.com/article/usa-china-tariffs-idUSKCN26H...

- remuskaos 4y agoThis sadly happened in Germany, actually. We have a state sponsored weather forecast service, who also released a free Android (and possibly IOS) app. They were successfully sued by a for-profit commercial weather app (that even uses the publicly available data from the state sponsored service). Now the state sponsored app is required by law to not be free. Last I checked it costs about two Euros.
