Tim Cook,A Male Friend Who Spins it Around Elizabeth Warren is coming for you.
Speaking to The Vergeat SXSW, the 2020 Democratic presidential candidate made it ultra clear: just because she didn’t explicitly mention Apple in her policy proposal to break up the big tech companiesdoesn’t mean it’s safe from her scrutiny.
Under an Elizabeth Warren administration, Apple would be broken up, too.
“Apple, you’ve got to break it apart from their App Store,” said Warren, speaking to editor-in-chief of The Verge, Nilay Patel. “It’s got to be one or the other. Either they run the platform or they play in the store. They don’t get to do both at the same time.”
Warren made waves on Friday with a Medium postannouncing how her administration would tackle tech monopolies like Amazon, Google, and Facebook. Basically, to end the anti-competitive practices in the industry, the Senator from Massachusetts proposes the following: break them up.

Under Warren’s proposal, a company could run these platforms but it couldn’t also sell its own products on them. In Amazon’s case, for example, it could run its ecommerce services but it couldn’t also sellits own AmazonBasics products on the platform.
While Apple wasn’t mentioned in her post alongside Amazon, Google, and Facebook, Warren has now made it clear the same would go for the Cupertino-based iPhone maker. Apple couldn’t both run the App Store and release its own apps through the platform.
“These big companies exert enormous influence in the economy and in Washington, DC,” said Warren. “We break them apart, that backs up the influence a little bit, and it makes absolutely sure that they’re not engaged in these unfair practices that stomp out every little business that’s trying to get a start.”
