IPhone owners can sue Apple for monopolizing App Store, Supreme Court rules
This is the relevant snippet that I enjoy because schadenfreude for the big business types, like the Chamber of Commerce, who might have supported Judge Kavanaugh for pro-business reasons:
My head is spinning. It just goes to show that people don't always stay in the box you want them in.
There's a thousand questions that come out of this:
1. How does Apple guarantee that iphones be uncorrupted by malware if they have to allow other platforms for software distribution?
2. What does this do to Google?
3. How is it that Apple constitutes a monopoly if Google exists as an alternative?
4. Was this kind of thinking not evident in K's earlier rulings?

A group of iPhone owners accusing Apple of violating US antitrust rules because of its App Store monopoly can sue the company, the Supreme Court ruled Monday.
Justice Brett Kavanaugh, in the majority opinion, said that when "retailers engage in unlawful anticompetitive conduct that harms consumers," people buying those companies' products have the right to hold the businesses to account.
"That is why we have antitrust law," Kavanaugh wrote. The court's four liberal justices joined Kavanaugh in the 5-4 decision.
