They just went into recess

S*** over?

All I can imagine is them going to their playground

If this was the TV show, all them mfs would be Randall

I think its halfway lmao

tbh netflix should buy the rights to this stream. best comedy show i seen in ages

Which ones you think are actually a monopoly? Or rather, how would you split up the question percentage?

So how’s it looking? Ain’t nothing gonna happen or we busting up this trust

my answer was just about the question breakdown. apparently mark has gotten more than ive seen tho. google guy gotten f*** ton tho.

but I have no opinion on the monopoly question really - im just here for the popcorn and memes

good question, depends on how they narrow it down

from a marketplace standpoint obviously amazon should get the most questions

but then from a data standpoint i'd say it's somewhat even between google and facebook depending on whether you're discussing user data or data access itself

You think Apple should even be considered a monopoly? I can’t see it

^

i feel like the argument for apple is a lot shakier, they're basically trying to harp on the whole "closed garden" app store

nah not really, let my boy tim chill on the Zoom call

That’s what I’m saying

its all about the App Store not apple overall for them

What the argument they saying on the App Store? That they only force people to use App Store?

Looked like a s*** show ain’t s*** changing

interesting

I do think for the most part the questions here were a lot better than they were a year ago, and there's a lot more scrutiny on these companies this time around

I think this could be pointed to when the governments are finished with their investigations, if not the US then def. the EU.

There was a bit of evidence presented that these companies ARE acting like monopolies, and the CEOs basically kept trying to talk around it

honestly they only went at apple once or twice all afternoon and it was at the very start - so 4 hours ago and 100 questions ago - hard to remember the specifics of their argument.

it had to do with the control Apple has over the App Store and how they could raise the % of revenue in their favor in the future + preferential treatment to certain app companies. stuff like that - details are fuzzy.

Tried to send a link but the video is in the way. Bing it, they’re despicable

Zucc's plugged himself in to charge while the others are on a smoke break

afaik the argument is that apple restricts competition on their own system (like how they got microsoft for internet explorer). which they do by being really restrictive about which apps are allowed on the store. i guess the question is if other companies have a right to apps on the iphone
