A waste of time and money.

Companies like Apple, Amazon, Google and Meta are immune to pesky things like lawsuits. Even from an entity as powerful as the US government.

First of all, they have an army of HIGHLY COMPETENT attorneys who live for legal warfare. They are paid FAT cheques to take the law and flog lawmakers with it.

Apart from their legal teams, Apple has a HORDE of customers whose devotion to them can be likened to that of religious extremist.

People sleep OUTSIDE in American weather just for a chance to get Apple's latest gadgets.

Plus, the people who have shares in Apple are movers and shakers of the US economy. They are not to be bleeped with.

For instance, companies like Berkshire Hathaway owns APPLE shares worth about $161B. For context, all the dollars in the Nigerian Foreign Reserves is just $34B. Despite the INSANE padding, Nigeria National Budget is about $19.6B.

BH has $161B in Apple.
BH has an ENORMOUS power in the US stock market.
And it's not even the only one.

This entire lawsuit is a joke.

The day I realized that some companies are bigger than the US company is the day I watched Mark Zuckerberg's testimony before the US Congress.

Mark REFUSED to answer any question straight.

If they ask "What is A?", Mark will reply with "I think Jerry from Tom and Jerry is gay".

All attempts to force him to give a straight answer were met with a variation of "go fuuuck yourself".

Now consider the fact that Apple is 200% BIGGER than Meta and you'll begin to understand why this lawsuits is just bored politicians looking for some short-lived excitement.

They are not immune to anything so long as the government is committed to ensuring justice prevails. It is when the government compromises that the idea of immunity gains traction.

Apple make more money from services than hardware. Google gives free cloud storage but Apple you have to pay if you want more than 5gb. You must pay because Apple don’t allow you to backup your iphone with any other cloud service except theirs “iCloud”. US government is trying to stop Apple to from limiting the choices of their Users just so they could keep extorting them. Just like what EU did to force them to start using USB-C

The only reason I needed the iPad is because I need Procreate the app which is only available on iPad otherwise, I would have gone for the Xiaomi pad 6.


Blackberry also used the strategy to its advantage when it started the BBM messenger. People will be like "What's your BB pin" So many people were buying BB then because of BBM and BB pin.

When BBM was introduced to Android devices, BB phones died because people preferred Android but only held onto BB because of BBM. WhatsApp buried it completely as it is better than BBM.

Meta was asked to pay $5bn for abuse of its users information if I'm correct.

No matter how big, Apple still needs to thread carefully. Whatever amount it is asked to pay will simply be a slap on the wrist considering the huge horde of cash it holds on to. The Economist magazine poo-pooed the $5bn Meta had to pay as insufficient to change its ways.
