Apple Becomes the First Tech Company Charged With Violating EU's Digital Markets Act Rules - IGN
The European Commission has announced that Apple is the first tech company it is charging for violating the new antitrust rules set forth by the Digital Markets Act.

Considering the fact that now, Google is pretty much an add company, it’s almost unfair to compare them. Since 75-80% of their revenue comes from forcing adds on people throughout their various platforms/products… they’re really not even in the same genre anymore.
I’d maybe put Google in the same box with whoever sends out junk mail.
That's true.. Apparently 90% of their profit is ads
But they don't block other ad providers in the google play store, and they don't block other hardware using Android to show their own ads. In fact Apple could technically adopt android and put their own app store on it. You can't do that on IOS.
In fact, Google is getting penalised simply because their search engine is dominating the market (but they're not doing anything to prevent other companies in Chrome for instance for putting their own search engines and such). Whereas Apple is getting penalised for hostile behavior.
ROFL… okay. As a rule I don’t debate with Stans.
Yep, maybe if you abuse me, it will add credibility..
Your post specifically was correlating the two. But, seems more like since you don't have any real justification for your response, you're resorting to calling me a "STAN" or whatever. If you want to do that, I prefer you stick to Reddit, where that behavior is commonplace.
Google have done very little to block other app stores or other ad providers on their platforms.. That's why they're likely far behind. Apple on the other hand have a long history of blocking apps, or delaying them, and blocking App stores.
The proof is, most popular Android products aren't even made by Apple (Samsung). And a lot of android products don't even ship the Play store.
Complaints for IOS and Android developers are remarkably different. Many Android developers are complaining there are too many variants of devices, whereas many Apple developers (particularly bigger ones) complain about Apple business practices.
Getting locked out of the App Store, means your product is dead. Even worse, Apple used to ban entire products from their app store, explicitly if it replicates some of their functionality too (or even not even tell the developer why). If that's not anti-competitive, I don't know what is.
I’m not abusing you. I’m simply stating that you have a very obvious bias. I’d have to overcome that before you’d ever even consider any counter-argument I would have.
You position Google as having no business complaints, use things Apple USED to do im the past as arguments against them now…
And “oh no! Google’s worst problem is too much tech!” Meanwhile, the evil empire Apple is horrible and mean! You’re biased as hell man.
Therefore, to me, this is an exercise in futility.
