The EU’s Share of Apple’s Global Revenue

The DMA allows the EC to penalize “gatekeepers” with fines that are vastly disproportionate to the amount of revenue they generate in EU member states.

Yes. Finally.

I’ve been wondering when people would start mainstreaming the idea that (maybe) Apple *should* pull out of the idiotic EU. It’s not worth 7%.

Stupid (and also, politically motivated & excessively punitive) regulation *should* have consequences.

BTW, should Apple pull out of China, too? It has been bending over backwards implementing every single request from the Chinese government without a single complaint

@dmitriid @kraigschmidt @daringfireball China has far far more than 7% of their global revenue!
