Google claimed to be open but ran backroom deals to ensure low competition. In doing so it proved its weight in the industry could squash competition, proving its monopoly, which is illegal.
Apple never made claims it was open.
As simple as. Toss in one case was decided by a jury, and the other a judge, and you'll quickly see neither are related.
Basically your question was nonsense from the jump, and pushed by blogs and the like to get idiots to click. Had you read the news, you'd get it. By why read when others will explain it for ya.
Your explanation is right, but the last sentence makes you insufferable
hello fellow lemming,
i'm sharing an article that i thought is interesting, on a related community.
i quoted a paragraph from the article, i am not asking a question.
sharing an article won't even necessarily mean that i agree with it.
only those who care about "clicks" blame others for doing things for clicks. I don't give a damn about clicks.
what the fuck is wrong with you?!
This is a discussion forum. Sometimes an obvious question sparks conversation well beyond the original topic. But someone needs to ask the question first. You don't have to be rude. Just scroll right past.
Sundar Pichai: "All right, fellas, let's comply with the court riling and raise the walls. No more eco system for anyone any longer."
I mean, Google can sure try lol. Pixels make up like 1% of market share. If they cut off Android from everyone else, they would fall completely out in no time.
Sundar Pichai: “Reach out to Samsung. Tell them either we and them enter an exclusive deal for a locked down Android or we all go down together. Kill the Pixel line. Killing our own products is what we do best anyway."
I would like to ask you to please not be so condescending, as it is against Rule 5 here. Thank you.
It's also worth noting that Apple was never proven to not be a monopoly, only that Epic couldn't provide enough evidence to prove that they were. US courts never prove innocence, only guilt.
Google simply could have been worse that Apple at hiding what they were doing, making it easier to find evidence. Or perhaps Epic's prior failure to provide evidence in the Apple case may have helped prepare them with what to look for this time for the Google one.
Edit: Not to mention that the Google case was decided by a jury, whereas the Apple case was decided through a ruling by a judge, which adds another layer of difference between them.
Isn't that also what reading the news is???
