alt Hacker NewsIf regulators force the capability of exporting to exist, what ya gonna do?
I continue to find it amusing that people really think corporates are really holding power. No - they are holding power granted to them by the government of the state.
Remind me why Zuck et al had to kiss the ring.
Very often, the regulators don't. Here in the US, half the country would refinance their mortgage for iMessage interoperability... if it were possible. Any time regulators reach for the "stop monopoly" button, Tim Cook screeches like a rhesus monkey and drops a press release about how many terrorists Apple stops.
If lobbying was illegal then you might have a point here, but alas.
