    Google also can’t:

    Share app revenue “with any person or entity that distributes Android apps” or plans to launch an app store or app platform Offer developers money or perks to launch their apps on the Play Store exclusively or first Offer developers money or perks not to launch their apps on rival stores

    So basically, hand Apple a monopoly over the smartphone duopoly. Apple still will be allowed to do this, and they have done this already in the past. Wow, way to make sure the free market stays free.

    Worst part is, because this is a government made monopoly, Apple can’t be taken to court for monopoly behavior. Apple didn’t do anything here to make this happen, but will laugh all the way to the bank for it.
