Comment on How are the blatant anti-competitive practices of Apple just…allowed? How is this even possible?
ryathal@sh.itjust.works 1 week agoMonopolies are not the only thing that governments are supposed to prevent. Anti competitive practices are supposed to be illegal regardless of monopoly status. The same is true of cartel behavior.

Regulations on cartel behavior is usually linked more to price fixing, not industry practice. Also, there is consumer choice on being forced into a single app store, get an Android phone.
And Apple has been forced to allow for in app purchases, the most cartel like behavior between the two stores.
