Oh dear, so dramatic. Exactly how are they a monopoly? Last time I checked, you can avoid them completely.

I am trying to think of one single area of technology where Apple could be described as being a monopoly...

Phones? Not with Android phones outselling them 4 to 1. Perhaps if you look at the US market only where they have a 50% market share, still not a monopoly though...

Computers? Apple only has a 16% market share...

How is Apple censoring Twitter? I keep trying to get you to point to something tangible that Apple have done and you keep deflecting to vague ominous accusations.

There's nothing wrong whatsoever in them pulling ads from Twitter. So what then?

Monopoly was everyone's favourite word to throw around in the Epic vs. Apple days. Too bad Epic couldn't prove any of it in the court, and lost their case. Now Elon is riling up his cult following the same way Timmy Tencent Sweeney did back then (with his Fortnite army :laugh:), but obviously he has more influence, and such generates way more noise.

From an Apple friendly blog.
You can easily find many more articles.


“Apple may be engaging in monopolistic practices. In other words, some believe that the tech giant is using its position as a tech giant to reduce competition in the tech sector. Which, if true, is a big no-no.”

Left wing voices lmao. Morons inciting violence are being suspended. Difference between that and free speech. Banned left wingers have also had their banned accounts restored. Just ask crazy Kathy. But only focus on the extremists getting banned :rolleyes:
