| Old Apple and Google deal sets the watchdogs barking Prime example of antitrust Apple's agreement to feature Google as the preselected search engine for iPhones, saying America's Justice Department views it as a prime example of what prosecutors say are Google's illegal tactics to protect its monopoly and choke off competition. The deal has been around for more than 15 years and has rarely been discussed by either company, it certainly has not received much in the way of reporting. But regulators think that it is an unlikely union of rivals that regulators say is unfairly preventing smaller companies from flourishing. Apple's general counsel from 2009 to 2017 Bruce Sewell said it was co-opetition where you have brutal competition, but at the same time, you have necessary cooperation. This means that Apple and Google are joined at the hip even though Mr. Cook has said internet advertising, Google's bread and butter, engages in "surveillance" of consumers and even though Steve Jobs, Apple's co-founder, once promised "thermonuclear war" on his Silicon Valley neighbor when he learned it was working on a rival to the iPhone. https://fudzilla.com/news/51758-old-...chdogs-barking |
