Leo Laporte: 本期节目讨论了Epic诉谷歌案的判决，法官裁定谷歌必须开放安卓应用商店以促进竞争，但谷歌已申请紧急暂缓执行。这一判决与苹果应用商店的案例类似，都涉及到应用商店的高额交易费用问题。 Cory Doctorow: 应用商店30%的交易费用远高于支付处理的行业标准，导致商品价格上涨。谷歌和苹果通过设定高额交易费用形成卡特尔，导致商品价格普遍上涨。谷歌和苹果辩称其高额费用用于维护平台安全和提供优质用户体验，但这说法可信度存疑。允许侧载应用虽然能解决应用商店高费用的问题，但也带来了安全风险。政府不应干预企业商业模式，也不应将违反商业模式的行为定为刑事犯罪。苹果公司声称其高额费用是为了保护用户安全，但其可信度存疑，苹果公司在保护用户安全方面存在双重标准，只保护对其自身业务构成威胁的安全问题。 Jason Hiner: 业界普遍认为30%的应用商店交易费用过高，谷歌和苹果公司利用安全作为其高额费用的借口。一些证据表明，谷歌和苹果公司对小型开发者提供折扣，但大型盈利性企业仍然需要支付30%的费用。
