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 informing iOS users about alternative and cheaper music subscription services available outside of the app (‘anti-steering provisions’). This is illegal under EU antitrust rules.

      Bro, don’t believe everything you read. Which OBJECTIVE 3rd party has verified this?

      Nobody. The US told Canada to comply or else, and they went along with the BS story.

      I SERIOUSLY doubt Huawei would be so stupid as to do that. And if they did, I guarantee you they would hide it very, very well.

      Do you know how much malware governments make which goes undetected for years? Plenty. That’s the name of the game. No way Huawei would make it that easy to get caught knowing the US would check for this…

        “We already have one backdoor, what’s the issue with a few dozen more” isn’t the gotcha you think it is.
