      Is this because the EU broke the floodgates, or is there some other reason the US is finally looking into anti-trust enforcement now?

          This has been a problem for like 4-5 election cycles now. The US didn’t do squat in this space since Microsoft, and even that was milquetoast. To be honest, they didn’t do much this time either, for now.

      That’s not what’s discussed here. It’s not about weakening encryption, it’s about the bullshit Apple continues to make up to prevent 3rd Party app stores and such.
