Apple lied in court, Apple could face criminal prosecution and top executives could face jail. Support my work on: / thehatedone

Apple has just lost a major lawsuit and the outcome of it reveals the deepest levels of corruption and obstruction in the history of big tech. Many companies are facing similar lawsuits in the US and other countries but with Apple, things are much worse and way darker. People could realistically go to jail over this and Apple as a company could be held criminally liable. I’ve never seen this happen in any other big tech company and it’s that much more confusing to me that nobody is talking about this.

Apple stepped over the line in their defense. In fact, this implicates the very top of Apple’s management. All the way up to Tim Cook himself. In 2021, Apple was ordered to allow developers to communicate to their customers better pricing and purchasing options outside of Apple. What the Court wanted Apple to do, was to remove barriers and stop discouraging users and developers from using a third-party payment option. But that’s not how Apple decided to comply with the order.
