Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. We have an actively updated blocklist, which you can see here: https://lemmy.world/post/2246130 if you feel like any website is missing, contact the mods. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted seperately but not to the post body.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source.
Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials or celebrity gossip is allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis.
7. No duplicate posts.
If a source you used was already posted by someone else, the autoMod will leave a message. Please remove your post if the autoMod is correct. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners.
The auto mod will contact you if a link shortener is detected, please delete your post if they are right.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
"It seems to me much more complicated. You are talking about something that is integrated, for example you can't force Apple to divest its App Store. That doesn't make sense," he said.
Oh no we spent so long making our system incompatible with every competitor that it would just be too inconvenient if you made us take it apart. That's not our fault!
"We couldn't possibly expect the richest and most profitable tech company to pay the price for their crimes. That would be sheer insanity."
People forget relatively quickly that Cydia was the original App Store.
What are we going to move to?
you can’t force Apple to...
yes they can
If every other phone except for Pixels can use a third party app store, Apple can too.
Not Google Play, though, for obvious reasons. Maybe F-Droid?
no, you can't.
they'll appeal any negative ruling for decades until the government gives up and offers them a slap on the wrist deal
They can appeal all they want, but that doesn't mean that courts will automatically stop enforcement actions.
Yeah, like that'll happen. I remember the Microsoft antitrust trial. They were spewing the same bullshit about how they made IE integral to the OS. They just dragged the case out until they got a favorable administration in office that let them off with a slap on the wrist.
I guess. I mean, it's a travesty that more wasn't done, but Microsoft WAS ordered to be broken up. And although that was eventually overturned, there were some pretty big oversight imposed. This all ended up having a pretty massive effect on Microsoft and its leadership and behaviors.
...For 20 years, anyway. At this point leadership isn't worried about it anymore and it shows.
Do it. Do it. Do. It.
Of course most of Congress will make oodles of money inside trading on these decisions since they still can and do so regularly.
Too late really. Only been done a couple of times with any success, the rest were fudges in one way or another other .
