Both are good choices TBH. Maybe Apple is utterly incompatible with the way we Europeans (at least western part for sure) treat freedom and moral behavior and expect companies adhere to those principles. Not empty phrases or half-assed gestures all over the place, but real, concrete, measurable, long term at least good enough behavior.
I'd say fine every transgression progressively so much it hurts their finances so badly they actually make that choice, once and for good (for Apple this would be tens of billions each time depending on the case). But cca 450 million potential customers and rich market ain't something to ignore, shares would take 50% or more cut easily.
- squigz 2y agoOut of curiosity, do you think that Apple's customers in Europe would be appreciative of their entire platform being strongarmed into stopping service?
- jajko 2y agoJust like with russia, they would service current customers just like usually, just not be able to get new ones. Slow, for Apple painful, exit. Of course as mentioned the effect on shares would be catastrophic so they would actually start respecting the law way before that would happen, Cook and shareholders ain't stupid and know very well what games they play. It would just stop these PR charades where they try to act like they care and have some actual morals, but act differently.
