Swap Apple with Twitter in your list. (What sort of antitrust anything has Twitter done? Have you seen their market cap and user base?)

Apple controls 50% of domestic US computing and has redefined the concept of a computer to be a highly taxed walled garden with mysterious, byzantine rules.

More companies like Epic will sue them and Apple will ultimately be forced to open up iOS to 3rd party apps.

Apple can't be a smartphone manufacturer, computer manufacturer, OS provider, services provider, Hollywood film studio, music studio, automotive company, etc. This is standard oil.



I included Twitter because I predict an amendment to section 230 will be passed. I don't have much faith in Congress to carefully consider the effects of their technological legislation on an open and free Web.
