No there isn't. There is a "growing push" to discredit junk science. You mistake it for real science however because that narrative aligns with your agenda.

And it's way more prevalent than you believe. It's worked it's way into the senior academia at prestigious universities such as Harvard and Duke University.

Just googling the phrase "university professor fake data" gets you a list of scandals from different universities as well as other scientific institutions that got caught faking data for an agenda.

There is very little oversight in the academic fields and the only oversight is from other academics double-checking their peers. And the back scratching and quid-pro-quo has given rise to peer review mills that claim to, but do not publish fake peer reviewed papers.

Which is a whole 'nother issue.

Except that they do and did.

The title of this thread is incorrect. This isn't about apple having the most "dominant" market capture, but about the anti-competitive actions apple took to exclude competition.

The opening of the court filing references Steve Jobs being upset that you can use a Kindle on both the iOS platform AND the Android platform. He then order apple devs to make it so that you couldn't do this (locking you into one platform).

A direct quote from the court filing's opening statement:

Apple would “force” developers to use its payment system to lock in both developers and users on its platform.
