@zbrando@social.vivaldi.net @elessar@social1.ortolo.eu @rustyshelf@mastodon.social No. They can't. If there is internal research showing their current strategy is more profitable then they are literally required by law to continue down this path or expose themselves to lawsuits from shareholders. They don't even have to lose the lawsuits to be screwed. If there are enough of them that don't get thrown out as frivolous, the leadership would crumble just from the legal costs. Remember, it wouldn't be Apple that gets sued in that situation, but the individuals making the decisions

@zbrando@social.vivaldi.net @elessar@social1.ortolo.eu @rustyshelf@mastodon.social Also don't forget that their relationship with China isn't just that of OEM and consumer audience. China is where most of their hardware is manufactured. Souring that relationship could cost shareholders billions if they're forced to go elsewhere for manufacturing

@neatchee@urusai.social @elessar@social1.ortolo.eu @rustyshelf@mastodon.social Google and Meta pulled out of China and are still there. I understand your argument but the reality is different. And corporations brake multiple laws every day.
