I think many people (including me) would be happy if the rest of the world did to EU companies what the EU is doing to Apple...

  An an EU resident, I agree. Every country should protect consumer rights, have oversight over corporations operating in their jurisdiction, and enforce anti-trust laws to ensure a functioning free market. Your problem seems to be that you see this as the EU doing something "to" Apple (for fun or whatever nefarious reasons you think they have), rather than the EU just doing their job in protecting its citizens against an economic aggressor. Your framing of this is actually kind of sad. This isn't an EU vs US issue, but citizens united against the evils of the dark side of capitalism.

This framing was by the parent, I didn't come up with it and I don't agree with it either. > Your framing of this is actually kind of sad.

Yes, I know, hence why I would like if the rest of the world did to EU companies what the EU did the Apple: proper regulation. In fact, I would also be happy if the rest of the world did that to all companies as well.
