AppleInsider: –"EU's antitrust head is ignoring Spotify's dominance and wants to punish Apple instead":
Speaking to CNBC the EU's Margrethe Vestager said her office was continuing to investigate Spotify's complaint that it is being prevented from reaching its audience. Spotify is currently the leading music streaming service in the world, while Apple Music is variously in fourth or fifth place.
Repeat after me: Spotify is not a gatekeeper. Apple is. Special rules apply to gatekeepers to stop them using their market power in one area to distort a free market in another.
This is not rocket science, and I'm at the point where I think if a journalist is getting it wrong, they're simply propagandising for Apple, Meta, or Google.
