GoKawiilDOJ Secures Temporary Halt on Document Order in Apple Antitrust Case
Special Master Judge Jose Linares has paused his own earlier order requiring the DOJ to hand over records from 14 federal agencies to Apple, while District Judge Julien Neals reviews the government's appeal of that ruling. Apple wants the documents to show how agencies weigh privacy and security in smartphone purchasing decisions, arguing this supports its defense that certain contested practices are legitimate safeguards rather than anticompetitive conduct.
