Taking cuts of everyone else’s businesses while also blocking competition to the App Store and side loading is very similar to mafia like extortion. I am not sure there are useful differences between the two actually. Or maybe it is like a government imposed revenue based tax. But if they’re like the government, let’s recognize that and subject Apple to all the regulation that follows.

- p1necone 2y agoIs that actually common? I assumed most shopping malls would just charge rent.
- wrs 2y agoI shouldn’t have said “all” because I’m sure there are malls that don’t do this, but it’s very common. The practice is called “percentage rent”. https://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/clb-percentage-rent.html https://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/clb-percentage-rent....
