If this is all about hair competition, as everyone always claims, why aren’t consumers getting the choice of how they want to pay? I don’t mind paying a premium to keep payments and subscription in the App Store but I don’t see that being mandated for the likes of Netflix, et al. 

I have an AirPort Express that I use to give AirPlay functionality to a pair of studio monitors. Works like a charm.

I hope the BBC wins and nails Apple and Google to the wall. Quoting without attribution is simply theft. It’s not ok when AI scrapers do it, and it’s not ok when news aggregators do it, it’s not ok when a high school kid does it in a report. It’s just not ok. 

Completely incorrect interpretation of the complaint, congrats!

Since ByteDance has indicated they aren't selling, it would seem that the so-called "TikTok America" deal has no more relevance than my offer to buy TikTok for $1, and Trump not only hasn't made "tremendous" progress, he hasn't made any progress, but he's probably lining his pockets with cash.

Not only that, there is zero indication as what the administration will do to address the underlying problem: manipulation of Tik Tok’s algorithm by the CCP. Right now it just seems that they’re extorting ByteDance for a financial stake in exchange for their survival.

Yeah, it’s not like this a normal business competition dispute or anything. 

Yeah it’s not like one of the parties is trying to use their influential position in the government to their advantage or anything.
