App Store's Dutch dating app payment policies are 'unreasonable,' regulator says
badmonk said:StrangeDays said:Can a vendor setup their goods in the Amazon.com store, then use their own alternate checkout & payment processing system? Or do they have to use the mechanisms provided by Amazon, and any backend rules established by Amazon?
I know people will rebut that Amazon has competition from Walmart etc etc but really they don’t…nothing comes close in North America for the expanse of their reach.
I don't know why people will not admit that. If we get another store a user can choose where they want to buy from. Choice is competition. Funny how back in the day everyone was up in arms over Internet explorer being bundled. But when another company does this - it's all fine. Sure we had linux back then too, but the issue was only over Microsoft. hmmm. -

CNN to compete with Apple News+ via own news subscription service
sdw2001 said:Well, they better do something. Their ratings are in the toilet. The reason is CNN is a left wing mouthpiece pretending to be a news network (which it used to be). MSNBC, by comparison, is pretty clear about its quest for a liberal audience. FNC's primetime lineup is strongly to the right, whereas its news coverage probably leans right. The point is they are both mostly transparent about who they are and what they're doing. CNN is just an utter embarrassment.I disagree that its been a real "news network", back in the 90s it shilled for the WH and the WH was 'republican'.Its bad then its bad now, this is always been CNN's problem. So yeah now they want to sell content, sure go ahead go for it, why not? who buys it? I dunno there's a sucker born every minute.
