EU Commission fines Apple over €1.8 billion over abusive App store rules for music streaming providers (ec.europa.eu)

The European Commission has fined Apple over €1.8 billion for abusing its dominant position on the market for the distribution of music streaming apps to iPhone and iPad users (‘iOS users') through its App Store. In particular, the Commission found that Apple applied restrictions on app developers preventing them from...

Wet dream of euro communism, get rid of any powerfull competition that keeps messages e2e encrypted and won't install spyware on their hardware. Talk with evil corporations like google and microsoft to enforce one digital id, then presinstall spyware on every android and windows os to be able to login to internet.

And you what, read minds that you know what people want and who rules the world ?
You praise that company can't protect their business and government that can enforce any company to do anything government want. You know who was doing that before, opressing companies that don't do what government wants ?

You're supporting government making decisions about how people need to live by punishing companies and not managing to maintain free market and support small business. Those like you that think that it's good to punish people by taking money from them are the worst.

The difference between apple and android is that apple is sole producer of both software and hardware platform if you like it or not and it's protecting it's IP. If you don't like apple products nobody is enforcing you to buy them or to use them. It's only a feeling of missing out that drives your anger. If apple got 0.5% of market would anyone brag about company having their both hardware and software platform closed ? Does anyone brags about nintendo not allowing everyone to install anything on their console ? But no you want to punish all people who use apple products because you hate them and they didn't do anyting wrong beside don't care about what you think and have a free will to make their own decisions.

You hate people that use apple because they made decision to use apple product. That's racism, facism or mental disability. Go see the doctor.

Siemens Mobile, Alcatel, Ericssson, Nokia, Psion - where are those phone manufacturers, where are those companies selling their tech right now and why their main market is not in EU ? Symbian OS, where is this open source operating system ? You don't see what globalists are doing because you're delusional, shout open source and you are sold whatever and whoever is behind it. Books are not real life. I can't wait for chinese companies take over every automotive brand in EU after EU destorys their automotive like they destroyed their mobile phone manufacturers, maybe this would wake up people.

IBM was evil before Apple and Microsoft was evil. What's your point ?

vane ,

First thing is that Android is not open source. It's open core. Second thing go make android phone without signing NDA with Google, try to convince factories to sell you parts so you can make a mobile phone and wait until they say they don't want to be removed from Google official list.

Oh those companies do different things now so they're cool ? What things they do ? Siemens Mobile renamed and owned by Chinese, Alcatel licensed to TCL - Chinese. You're bragging aboout China being bad, but look those companies do different things they're good, they were forced to sell their business to China so they're good now.

It's all good, it's great. Great because you can install your linux. Very soon only on old hardware because they won't sell you new one without spyware and drm inside but well you're good. You can install things, but you can't install them on Playstation, you can't install them on Nintendo, on your coffe maker, on your washing machine, on your owen, on your car or anywhere you want. You can install things only where they allow you to do it and you're happy with that. LOL

At least you know from start what you sign up for, not find out about it after 10 years transition from "Don't be evil" to doing mostly evil stuff.

vane ,

Sure, thanks. Wish you all the best too. What next order you got from your commander ?

vane ,

So China is good. Nice to hear that, at least I know with whom I am writing. What's next command comrade ?

I agree that they were and are aiming for minorities, like their logo was a rainbow for decades. They do it to give some sort of exclusiveness to the brand by being inclusive.

At lest they're consistant for me and don't change their minds to much over the years. They are now forced to make changes because government lobbying against them what I'd say is more evil than everything on this planet. For example maybe I don't want to use USB-C, maybe I want to sit naked in my house build from shit, eating peanut butter from my ass in the middle of nowhere with my own solar panel but government bans me from doing it because some people say it's bad for you. More bad than stuff I'm allowed to do like buy bleach and drink it.

Well I got what I paid for and I wish all people get that feeling and stop forcing other people to use something because they think it's better to do it their way. I want it my way - like Frank Sinatra once said.

vane ,

Yeah, well nobody's perfect, as long as they don't waste my time and I don't see ads based on what I wrote in my messages I can use them. I don't have time to install custom OS everytime my android phone breaks or compile my own chromium because every chromium based browser spies on me more or less. It's all about sacrifice money or time. If open source software will stop wasting people time and start automating stuff people will switch and they will switch in no time. Like look yahoo->google or myspace->facebook. 2-3 years those companies can be gone or mostly rely on corporate - like they're seeing it and facebook and google is trying to switch to corporate customers as fast as they can because they know they can't keep up on consumer market, they're mostly done here.
Regular people don't care about rounded shapes or where their files are, they want get shit done so they don't spent so much time on it. If someone creates gui that enables them to do it and have open source product begind the scenes there is no point to not to change the story. But for now I don't see it.

There is difference between for profit company responsibilitires and government responsibilities. What EU did is in my opinion as an Apple user - they saw shit laying and they said let's spread this shit all over the people that use those products. That's what money penalty is and you're claiming it's fine and moreover you're claiming that products that I legally bought with full awareness what they are ( I was using custom AOSP) should be banned from country in which I was born. That's what I feal. What I feel is I should leave EU and Europe because it will kill itself by people like you. Well good luck with that attitude, becaue it would happen to you at some point and you will end up with no money whatsoever because some government administration worker will say you're guilty of doing something that is part of your income for years.

Apple (slrpnk.net)

I don't care if anyone has a Xiaomi, Oneplus, Samsung, etc. Each brand is using a modified version of Android, and they chose to be compatible with each other. But for example the "blue vs green bubble" drama is a thing specifically because of Apple locking their unsuspecting users into a closed ecosystem. And it sure isn't...

vane ,

Why is it always people that use android bragging about that people that use apple don't want to communicate with them and completly ignore them. And right after they go play ps5 exclusives.

vane ,

Playstation or Nintendo have no open hardware or software you can install on those products so why Apple is different from them ? Only because they make mobile phones or PCs ?
If they decide they don't do PC or mobile phone and rename their products to something different, abandon standards that in fact they established and then market their products as it's not a phone people, it's not a pc, don't use it if you want a pc or mobile phone, would this make people feeling happy ?
That's stupid.

More and more corporate and less customer focused company. Greed will eventually kill youtube, search, chrome and android.
