Question

When one person sent a personal e-mail with suggestions for this platform, the recipient amusingly didn’t recognize him and asked “Is this the guy that was at one of our rehearsals?” In a baffling event, execs like Phil Schiller claimed that nobody knew if this platform was profitable, and the CEO only had a gut feeling it was. A variety of companies including Basecamp, ProtonMail, and Spotify formed a “coalition” abbreviated CAF that targets this platform. In 2021, Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers ruled that this platform’s (*) “anti-steering” policies were in violation of the California Unfair Competition Law, though it was also not an illegal monopoly. A notorious conflict was started by a company bypassing this (10[1])platform’s thirty percent revenue cut (10[4])by letting users directly purchase V-Bucks. For 10 points, Epic Games sued Apple after Fortnite was removed from what platform? ■END■
