How the EU is getting away with all these restrictions targeting US businesses is beyond me

How US businesses think they can operate in the EU without being subject to their laws is beyond me

That's not how global free trade works, these laws weren't already established they were added to specifically target American companies which must be in violation of several WTO ordinance.

That is a very strong assertion. Please provide the WTO ordinances in question and/or case law. Unfounded assertions do not add to the discussion.

Do you seriously believe Apple would have gone this malicious compliance route rather than pursuing WTO grievances through their army of lobbyists if they thought that had half a chance of succeeding?
