  I wish we had compounded/criminal liability for when big tech finds legal loopholes to further its power

  What does NO Fees on web transactions really mean? Epic can make a free game, but have paid bits be installed via web browser?

  Like download netflix for free. Sign up for subscription via web. No paying apple tax?

  Great to see states take up the mantle of protecting consumers from unfair pricing. The FTC abandoning Apple's lawsuit was a clear-cut case of political corruption from Cook and Trump. No just court could ignore the damages Apple deliberately imposes on their competitors.
