Apple has won the support of the billionaire industrialist Koch brothers’ advocacy group in a court fight over claims the iPhone maker’s App Store is anti-competitive.
Peter Blumberg for Bloomberg News:
The Americans for Prosperity Foundation, founded by David and Charles Koch and known for supporting libertarian conservative causes, was the first to submit a filing on Thursday’s deadline for groups to weigh in on Apple’s side in its battle with Epic Games Inc., the maker of Fortnite.
Apple mostly won its 2021 trial with Epic, but the iPhone maker is asking the San Francisco-based Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals to overturn a portion of a judge’s September ruling finding that the App Store’s business model violates California’s unfair competition law.
The non-profit foundation argues the judge’s legal analysis was faulty, emphasizing that antitrust laws are meant to protect competition, “not competitors.”

The economy was not better under Dementia Reagan than the laundry list of US presidents you attempted to list, sorry about your spelling handicap. Reagan spent like a drunken sailor to goose the economy, and despite OPEC taking it’s foot off the hose, Reagan presided over not one but two recessions. Maybe playing Atari in your basement you didn’t notice. You should have noticed that every Republican reneges on his promise to cut spending, ramping up foreign adventure debts faster than Democrat domestic spending that actually might benefit citizens who don’t work for the military (a socialist part of big govt).

Isn’t this an argument that would be used for the ‘side’ promoting 3rd party App Stores for any OS over a single source?
