U.S. v. Google - Hackdot

Re:U.S. v. Google by kanbara on Tuesday September 12, 2023 @09:54AM (#37481310)

you can create apps for free on apple platforms, just can’t publish without a sub.

google most def supports CCP since their re-entry into china

apple invented webkit and clang/llvm among others

maybe look at things with a more open perspective. google and apple both do good as well as bad; it’s not a competition in terms of who abuses capitalism, the answer is everyone.

Sorry, in what way is Google in China? No offices, no employees, products are not sold there, the only way to access their web products is VPN. Apple, on the other hand, sells their entire product lineup there. Some part of manufacturing is there, but most things are being built in Vietnam, Taiwan, etc, and FATP at most is in China.

This does give Apple more influence over China, as well as giving China influence over Apple. At these scales influence is never one-directional.

* Technically Apple forked WebKit from KHTML, but it's been 20 years and 10s of millions of lines of code since then. Chris Lattner and Vikram Adve created LLVM at UIUC. Chris was later hired by Apple who supported its development.
