The super apps point is very interesting. The quotes in the complaint from Apple are exactly right: super apps are sucky and don’t follow native platform conventions. The DOJ then says this is a good thing and pro-consumer innovation. If only they knew the tactics WeChat and others use in China to keep users trapped. (For example: have you ever tried to send an Alipay link through WeChat? Good luck!)
- Cornbilly 3y agoThe government has been pretty adamant about wanting a backdoor placed in peoples' phones. A super-app probably seems a like pretty good option to them, as once they compromise it, they'll have access to a large amount of data or, more likely, pressure the super-app owner into placing a backdoor into their service.
