A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

maybe...
but hat could take many years to spin up another massive lawsuit like this, and, by then, Apple could possibly have profited kajillions, and/or have modified their communications protocols just sufficiently to skirt regulations. or one of a dozen other legal maneuvers around this or a number of other possible future regulations...

I try not to predict the future. it took them a long time to get here. I they’e going to loop back around, I can’t see it happening again soon.
It’s not about the explosive growth (or not) of iMessage. It’s a matter of fact about the legal foothold that Apple now holds. That won’t be dislodged anytime soon. Whether or not Apple can get any market growth moving forward, now the EU will have to re-file any efforts to this ruling to them in the future should they try. That is a big deal. And nothing anyone in trying in the EU will move forward anything near the weight this attempt did. 
the legalism has already been explained in the ruling. any further remarks and/or questions will be referred to the ruling and be regarded furthrupon as harassment and slander.
what the EU courts do may be addressed with them directly. if you wrongly believe I have anything to do with that, I suggest you consult a mental health professional to address your hallucinations.
I again suggest that you consult a psychiatrist too address your persistent hallucinations and delusions which clearly present an obvious threat to both yourself and those around you.
I will be referring this and all previous and future correspondence to the UK Ministry of Health for the wellbeing of all citizens of the UK and the world.
