US sues Apple for illegal monopoly over smartphones
The lawsuit seeks to upend a major part of Apple’s business.

Somewhat overdue IMHO.

I am so grateful that the EU exists to set an example for this sort of thing.

Beeper gets a lot of credit, I remember hearing the DoJ was investigating apple over iMessage due to them blocking beeper from supporting iMessage on android.

It’s not a law, it’s a lawsuit.

Well, they are suing them for breaking the law.

Allegedly breaking the law.
But what I’m pointing out is that the US is not passing new legislation like the EU did.

Yes. They're suing them, alleging that they're breaking the law. Or, as I said "suing them for breaking the law".

Ok, it seems you’ve finally arrived at what’s happening.
That was quite the journey for you!

Looks more like you've misunderstood my comment, but ok. It's not too important. We seem to agree.

All did was state fact and correct your erroneous statements. If you need to project your miscomprehensions onto me to make yourself feel better, go ahead. My self-esteem can take it.
Have a nice day!

No animosity from me. I do think that the allegation was implicit in my comment however. It is, in my opinion, obvious that when you file a lawsuit you are claiming that the law itself has been broken. Clarifying with allegedly seems superfluous.
You as well!

If there was no animosity, you would’ve dropped it instead of trying to start an argument.
Fortunately, I have more self-control and I’m just gonna block you.
Try some ice cream. Perhaps that will cool you off.

Weird reaction imo since we seem to agree on the facts. Regards!
