Comment on EU fines Apple $568m for deterring third-party payment methods on App Store
MisterFrog@lemmy.world 2 weeks agoIf they keep not complying, which is my understanding of what apple has been doing, they should absolutely be bankrupted. Or something drastic.
A warning, which will make other companies self-Police, bringing down the cost of enforcement.
Countries are so permissive of corporate bad behaviour it’s not even funny.

Perhaps I worded it poorly, but my point was that companies shouldn’t go bankrupt when they make a mistake.
If you keep doing it after you’ve been told, then you’re no longer just making a mistake it’s obviously malicious, but I don’t think then Apple should go bankrupt when they incorrectly implement a new law.
While I personally don’t think it’s accidental, you should be more lenient towards a first offense for any new law (unless you can prove it was intentional, which is incredibly hard).
