I don't see how regulators could forbid them without making a joke out of themselves. The whole point was to let apps choose - there are dozens of legit points Big Tech can claim as the reason. From fees to UX demands to review process too expensive to supporting banned (but otherwise legit) functionalities.
- Apocryphon 4y agoThe whole point was to rein in Big Tech, and to protect consumers. Facebook or other companies forcing exclusivity into shady third party stores to suck up user data does not follow the spirit of these antitrust actions. I don't think regulators will just accept them doing that at face value. At the very least, the public outcry of "where's my Instagram?! Why do I have to sign up for this new thing?" will force some sort of inquiry. Ultimately I have faith that both the public and public institutions will do the right thing, and that we shouldn't put all of our trust into one private corporation to check the power of other private corporations.
