Dictatorship is all the rage recently, it seems.radarthekat said:Are you suggesting that the President should have carte blanche to hold sway over the DOJ and what lawsuits they bring? What about separation of powers? Not your thing?

EU antitrust chief remarks about $2 billion Apple Music fine ignores Spotify dominance
You do realise that laws apply even when nobody notices that they‘re being violated, do you?darelrex said:It's not just the size of the fine that's retroactive; it's the whole idea that Apple has been violating the law for years. Apple's had the same App Store rules for 16 years (if anything, they've just gotten more lax), long before it was even a small fraction of its current valuation, and long before iPhone was much more than a sliver of the mobile market. Nobody running the EU thought anything was illegal about it. But now that iPhone is a trillion-dollar, smash success, suddenly it's not only illegal, but it's been illegal for years, and we need to hit them up for that.If you murder someone who isn’t missed for ten years, your defense that nobody pointed it out to law enforcement for ten years is probably not going to fly.But yes, antitrust laws work differently when you’re big enough to violate them. -

Interesting, thanks! And probably sufficient grounds for a plea to reduce the fine.
