It squashes competition with Netflix

• MBCook 3y ago
  But Apple didn’t decide that only Netflix could be on their platform. And they didn’t take money to cause problems for other streaming video services. That’s what Google did according to the verdict. They paid money to stop competitors. In fact Apple negotiated that deal to keep Netflix on the platform because Netflix wasn’t happy paying 30% (surprise). It’s not good that they’re playing favorites secretly, but it’s not the same thing

    Did other streaming services get the same deal?

      That doesn't matter. Businesses aren't required to make the same deals with everyone.

        But if one service gets a better deal than it's competitors then it's market impediment. And Apple had previously explicitly stated in its defense that everyone got the same deal.
