Things took a MAJOR turn for Apple's App Store:- In the Epic v. Apple case, the court has found Apple in willful violation of a previous injunction on anticompetitive conduct - Effective immediately, Apple can no longer impose commissions on purchases made via external links or have a say on link placement - An Apple VP lied under oath and the court is referring to the U.S. Attorney to investigate whether criminal contempt proceedings are appropriatešæ Filing: https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/25924283-epic-v-apple-contempt-order/

The revised text of the 'Scare Screen' you get when making a purchase via a link was a Tim Cook idea ā telling people that Apple is not responsible for the security of web purchases. (on a personal note: LOL) "tells ppl its dangerous and they are leaving the app store."

"Appleās response to the Injunction strains credulity. ""[Apple] continued its anticompetitive conduct solely to maintain its revenue stream.""Remarkably, Apple believed that this Court would not see through its obvious cover-up"And the banger conclusion:"As always, the coverup made it worse. For this Court, there is no second bite at the apple."
