    You don’t understand what you’re talking about.

    Google gave their OS away to everyone to use, but then forced everyone that did to include all of their products and services and make them non-removable. That’s the part that is anti-competitive and abusive.

    Apple don’t let anyone use their OS. They aren’t required to. As such, they’re not forcing other companies to include Apple services if they want to use iOS.

    Understand?

      How can one be considered abusive and the other not, if companies are free to choose not to use android, just like companies can’t use Apple’s OS? Both have the same result, the company not using the OS. Google’s position is more permissive than Apples, yet Apple’s isn’t considered abusive.

        Europe sucks ass and makes everything worse and more expensive. Now Google will have to show every human 3200 additional ads to make up for that money lost. And if anyone wants to tell me Europe doesn’t suck ass, tell me about the people you’re killing by banning AC and about how you can be locked up for certain types of speech or if you try to defend yourself against an attacker. I’ve lived there twice, never going back. Yes Europe likes Apple more than Google and they targeted them intentionally because they love collecting huge fines/revenue from things they are biased against. But ultimately they’re only making Google worse, not making anyone’s experiences better.
