You’re describing any big company’s wet dream, Apple happened to have an exceptional product which gave them a leg up, nothing more. The answer is regulation regulation regulation. Not a slap on the wrist but real consequences that strike fear into the hearts of the board of directors and C level officers.

Criminal consequence to executives is what I have been calling for. Intentional and calculated skirting of regulations and privacy laws should have prison time consequence. Fines should be measured based on a percentage of a company's valuation.
