The Title Is Hilarious

Matt Stoller just wrote this and the title made me laugh and laugh and laugh... 'Apple F$@ks Around with Court Order, Finds Out'. The introductory lead to the story is also funny:

"It's our F$@KING STORE." Apple decided not to obey a court order telling it to open its app store to Fortnite. Yesterday Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers smacked them down, backed up by an appeals court.

As the article says, it's not really that Judge Gonzalez Rogers has been stern with and judged against Apple, at least up until recently. Apple's gotten away with lots. However, the last judgment basically made Apple open their App store to Fortnite (Epic Games) and other App developers. And Apple wouldn't do it... for Fortnite - the other app developers got app store access right away.
