Comment on EU fines Apple $568m for deterring third-party payment methods on App Store
Ulrich@feddit.org 3 days agoWell I think it’s fair to assume that they not only didn’t know for certain that they would be charged/fined but also how long it would take for that to happen. And they rolled the dice.

Likely. I guess I should clear up what I’m trying to get at, companies that large and monopolistic spend immense amount of resources doing everything they can to stifle competition because it’s profitable to do so. They made the move knowingly approaching if not downright crossing the line, because their analysis showed them it would turn out to be profitable. Will we be fined? Probably not. If we do, can we afford it and still turn a profit?
