The EU fined Apple $2 billion for antitrust violations today, and Apple says it's Spotify that's the problem. I wrote about what the company is missing https://www.platformer.news/apple-european-commission-antitrust-fine-spotify/
Europe takes a bite out of Apple

The company accuses Spotify of being greedy — but fails to acknowledge how its own greed got us here

@caseynewton dont worry apple. you both are the problem

@caseynewton I’ve been saying for years that Apple is free to run their App Store as they please as long as their policies don’t hamstring companies they compete directly with in areas like music streaming or ebook sales. This is a well-earned fine.

Apple is correct that their App Store policies have been exceedingly generous for “freemium” or ad-based services, if not for the fact that they apply restrictions that don’t apply to Apple’s own competing services.
