In an unprecedented move, the Japan Fair Trade Commission on Tuesday issued a cease-and-desist order against Google for violating the country's anti-monopoly law by forcing manufacturers to preinstall the company’s apps on their #Android #smartphones.

> This is the first time that #Japan has issued such an order against any of the major U.S. technology companies referred to collectively as GAFAM — Google, Apple, Facebook, Amazon and Microsoft. japantimes.co.jp/business/2025 #Google #Alphabet #monopoly

#France #children #schools #education #smartphones

'The last decade or so has seen schools and governments alike working on a substantial question: To what degree should students be allowed access to their phones? France has been among those leading the charge, requiring smartphones to be turned off during school hours since 2018. Now, the country is taking things a step further, insisting that students leave their phone in lockers or pouches, The Guardian reports.'

I wonder if the #Trump despised, hated (#liberal) law firms that gave in to help his #MAGA agendas, were the ones to edfit the #tariffs to exempt #Smartphones, #PCs and #Tablets from #China and #SouthKorea⁉️

This what #EricHolder said in the video

"#Trump is getting these law firms to help him negotiate trade deals or work on this whole tariff, controversy"

"...these firms need to stand together. If we do, I think we ultimately win"

(cut) And I saw today, he was talking about getting these law firms to help him negotiate trade deals or work on this, this whole tariff, controversy. I'm not sure that they anticipated that, but that's what happens when you make deals with m, people like, uh, like like the president. You can't really tell exactly how you're going to be used. Um, and so I would hope that people, that firms would consider, their obligations, stand fast. Understand that if you sue if you sue you're likely to win and that you will not suffer any consequence as a result of your opposition. Now, it also means that other firms should not be trying to poach clients affirms that are the recipients of these executive orders. Should not be trying to approach lawyers of the firms that receive these executive orders. The profession these firms need to stand, um, together. If we do, I think we ultimately win. And for those who make these deals, what are you going to say five years from now when this is over. And when you start to talk about all the great culture that you have, the commitment that you have to the rule of law, how you're willing to take chances to take on unpopular clients. How are you going to say that with a straight face? How are you going to recruit young lawyers to come join you? (cut)

It's a clown show, nobody takes Trump (and the USA) serious. What goals are they trying to achieve? There will be no investment in US production for smartphones for example. Xi will now never give in or compromise.
But ofcourse Apple was afraid for their profits.
