        Actually I’m unsure the EU would allow the UK to rejoin without hefty consequences. It would set a bad precedent.

          I’m sure they would be allowed back in, why not? But I doubt they’d get all their special treatements back.

            Any of the EU nations I believe have veto authority on adding new members. And there’s a lot of hate for the UK.

              Really? Here in Germany I only ever heard that its stupid the UK left, but that’s basically it. Didn’t notice any hate.

                From the outside (the US in my case) it looks like there’s a lot of hate, but maybe it’s just some well deserved schadenfreude. Everyone loves to laugh at Brexit voters.

                  It’s more like we’re having fun on them for being dumb ass bitches, but we still don’t want bad to happen to them.

                  Imagine your dumbass cousin you grew up with, who constantly does stupid shit like fucks a toaster

    tl;dr/highlight (to the titled fine):

    While the verdict isn’t public until its announcement “early next month”, the report suggests Apple unfairly prevented apps from suggesting payment methods outside of the App Store.

    Spotify submitted their (first) complaint in 2019.

    Took quite a few years…
