UK Tech Regulation Pushback Intensifies

News shows ongoing friction between Apple and UK/EU regulators, including the CMA considering forcing Apple to open its app store to rival payment systems, Apple rejecting a UK price-fixing lawsuit, and continued disputes over Siri AI delays tied to tech regulation. None of the falsification criteria (Apple complying without pushback, or regulators shelving the rules) are met; instead the dispute appears to be escalating.

Predicted 28 August 2025
Validated 2 March 2026
Horizon short
What would prove this wrong

Apple drops its resistance and complies with the UK proposals without pushback, or if UK regulators shelve or significantly water down the rules with no ongoing dispute.
