Fuck the stupid morons who defend Apple.
Imagine if Microsoft banned Windows users from installing the software they want on their computer.
Imagine if Microsoft required all software developers to give them 30% of their earning or Microsoft will ban them from Windows
While true, 568m is a significant cost of doing business. Also remember that a punitive action should not make the company go bankrupt, it should make them rethink.
And if they don’t, the fines will go higher, until they do rethink.
If 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).
