Re: Justice Department files antitrust suit against Apple

U.S. anti-trust laws exist to protect consumers.  Not competitors.

 I'm not a lawyer, but the government can claim that Apple is engaging
in conspiracy to restrain trade and commerce, which is broadly illegal
and does not require Apple to actually be a monopoly.

Almost nobody believes Apple, just like almost nobody believes Trump, when
they both loudly claim that the courts are out to get them for no reason.
Everyone sensible has always known exactly why Apple excludes competition
from their app store, especially since nobody else does this but Apple.
The question therefore, will be left to the courts to decide Apple's fate
just as the courts are currently left to decide Trump's fate in many cases.

And forget suing;
Tim Cook himself can be arrested and tried criminally for this if the
government ever decided to actually enforce the law.

Tim Cook recently settled a half billion dollar lawsuit for lying to
investors, where Apple's sordid reputation for lying is well founded.
Given Apple has been caught in so many lies recently, what gives you so
much confidence that Apple is finally coming clean by telling the truth?
