“Google has taken great pains to appear more open than Apple, licensing the Android operating system to third parties like Samsung and allowing users to install apps via other methods than the Play store. Apple does neither. When it comes to exclusivity, Apple has become synonymous with “walled garden” in the public imagination. So why did a jury find that Google held a monopoly but Apple didn’t?”

    Yes, this situation just doesn’t fit that bill. They kept the purge in place after the court order, otherwise they’d be fine.

      oh, my apologies, I wasn’t commenting on this specific case. I was more adding content in general.

      The fact that a company actively purges relevant data they where supposed to retain, should automatically lead to the inference that the data was “the most damning possible” and take it from there.
