I keep reading "can't" and I can't imagine how owning a Tesla prevents me from doing business in a gas station.

I don't need to make my case, we'll have months (years?) Of that when the case goes ahead. What I know is: Sherman act jurisdiction does not extend into the EU

That is not what the case is about. The case is about Spotify not having fair access to Apple customers.

And Spotify may well be target of investigation one day. They are also in the monopolistic platform business model.

Being creative with our analogies? Does Tesla contractually prevents you from buying gas?

Once you buy an apple product you lose freedoms others have. So, while no one forces me to buy from apple, once I buy apple I'm forced to buy only what apple sees fit.

If by anybody you include their own customers... Yes. The case here is driven mostly by Spotify who claim (my paraphrasing) they cannot benefit Apple customers equaly because of Apple restrictive practices and fee model. You may not have pu

Another poster already mentioned that legal definition varies. And not only that. It's not that it's "wrong" or illegal to be a monopoly. It's what you do with those powers. Natural (and legal) monopolies exist and

How is any of this relevant to "EU" as seen in title?

All barriers in this case can only be artificial. Think of the court case where FBI tried to make Apple develop software to their specs: it's hard to justify this order even though it seemed like it had legal standing. Apple doesn&#x27

It's funny to see tribal reactions to these news. Apple and other large tech companies have obviously arrived at a dominant position that would trigger these sort of investigations. You could say it's an attack on their success, a

I have a hard time thinking that anything one does isn't about oneself first and foremost. Even when that action is self-destructive. But this is probably just my view of existence.

What you can call "fatigue" in the first world, presents itself as impossible to overcome barrier to the rest of the world. I get that if platforms and creators charged any less than 5 bucks they probably lose even more in payment

I was (and still am) averse to long term WFH but, my child was born in December so, as you expect, WFH has been a temporary godsend for me. I guess it's also forcing me to learn how to WFH by minimizing the costs many here have pointed

What does a news organization bring to the table? resources to pay for your time? resources to aid your investigation? Reputation that helps your written word to reach an audience? Maybe people traditionally thought: all those things. But t

I agree that funding != Control. More specifically the more diverse is the source of funding the less it is subject to control by that source. But then the rest of your message seems to contradict that statement. If "healthy and divers

This reminds me of another article on IKEA's catalogue: at least 75% those photos are 3D renders[0] I can definitely see how a major fast-fashion brand can adopt this practice. Won't kill Paris and NYC fashion week, but certainly

Their range of soft touch cotton long sleeve t-shirts have become a stable in my wardrobe for years now. For the winter they are a must. Every time I managed to travel to a country with Uniqlo I stock up with another 4 or 5 of those.

I don't know if this works as proof that languages get poorer (overall). What I do know is that it is not uncommon for meanings to evolve and for new words to appear to (possibly?) cover for lost meanings. Considering that most languag

Anecdotal evidence that the title may not be downplaying the scale: while you are probably right about the ethymology of decimate, I, for one always understood the word as meaning virtual total destruction.

Only adjacent to this conversation: I wonder what will be the impact for blockchain- crypto-tevh adoption as these "splinternets" (regionets?) become reality. I'm not saying it will be reality, but as Ben states I also sense

I'm not sure common personal websites are a great analogy to Mastodon... Does your website allows millions of people to interact with each other bidirectionally WHILE being decentralized - in the sense that no single authority can take
