      The EU fined Google ~$5B for anti-competitive Android/search behavior. A Google employee and lawyer (not Google counsel, not speaking on behalf of Google) says Google's real crime was being too open: http://europa.eu/rapid/press-release_IP-18-4581_en.htm … https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17559985 …pic.twitter.com/bbLYZzXD4g

      As a mere lay person, I don't understand why the openness is the problem? Didn't MS get in trouble without being open? It seems to me that things like preventing DDG/Bing from being used are the problem; one could have an open platform that doesn't do the shady stuff Google doespic.twitter.com/uKlCFuUYvA

      MS allowed third party apps like Netscape, if they controlled the distribution they could have silently killed it or just gaslit them weirdness very early on before any regulator would notice

      This exact line of defense was used in the 90s/00s by people defending Microsoft and I think the same response applies. Apple's marketshare is larger than back then, but still nowhere near Google's.

      And as I said, I don't mean legally. I don't love that Apple's platform is so closed, but they don't (just for example) pay off devs to use dark patterns in their installer to trick users into accidentally switching back to chrome from FF:https://twitter.com/danluu/status/887724695558205440 …

      Is that legal? Probably, just like MS hiring developer evangelists to sit on standards committee to deadlock them was probably legal, but it still seems morally wrong. If the best defense one can come up with is, some other company hasn't gotten sued for being as bad or worse...

      They're probably correct in the narrow sense that it will make it harder internally. A lot of the push to close are things where the consequences are what most people would want, like you can get a phone that doesn't have large portions of the OS wrecked by carriers...

      ...because they pulled so much of it into closed Google Play Services, which I guess I don't like in the abstract.

      For a long time, I think we had the worst of both worlds here. Most Android phones came with vendor-specific crapware *and* you couldn't change the default search provider (without doing something most people wouldn't do, like rooting the phone and installing a custom OS image).
