"A federal judge will now decide what commission, if any, is reasonable."
Normalizing theft. Paid developer accounts are $99/yr for individuals; $299/yr for enterprise. Apple (like a slick snake oil salesman), keeps total paid developers a secret. They keep how much they get annually from paid developer accounts a secret. They combine the figures they get from the paid developer accounts with the mafia extortion tax they collect for each sale (which is a combined total of about 109 billion dollars? for hosting apps.)
Now these greedy ****s want more money on outbound links/sales which will facilitate even more tracking from the "privacy" company.
The system lets then get away with this. The system lets the ruling class get away with anything they want.

Government actors will exploit through a cyberattack." "Malign actors (like the US and israel) to surveil Americans, enhance the capabilities of foreign intelligence services (israel), or to remotely commandeer the robots (US and israel)."
Weaponizing every single piece of tech against the American people is exactly what this zio-fascist police state has been up to in plain sight. They need to control "America's critical supply chains" in order to accomplish the above.

Not a plot-twist. Microsoft is the attacker or aiding and abetting someone that is. You are evaluating the world as if rules of conduct still exist anywhere among the ruling class.
