Episode notes

Apple feels like it dodged a bullet. Apple lawyers are looking at this right now and saying, you know, we're not super thrilled about making this change. But if the 30 % commission was declared illegal, that would be a much bigger problem. Some of the mall developers who were really hoping this judge would knock down or break open apple system in a more sort of systemic way, are definitely not happy.

A California judge weighed in on whether Apple has a monopoly. NPR’s Bobby Allyn unpacks the ruling. Sen. Amy Klobuchar explains why she wants the government to get serious about regulating Big Tech.

Today’s show was produced by Will Reid with help from Hady Mawajdeh, edited by Matt Collette, engineered by Paul Mounsey, fact-checked by Laura Bullard, and hosted by Sean Rameswaram.
