[en] Japan: Apple can no longer hinder competition by banning browsers

According to Open Web Advocacy OWA: "Japan’s parliament passed into law a bill to promote fair competition on smartphone operating systems, similar to the EU’s Digital Markets Act and the UK’s Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Bill."

No matter how infuriating the Apple's bad faith about the EU DMA such as their sabotage of Progressive Web Apps, I would like you to take the time to think twice, carve your words, and stay decent before messaging Apple's employees on the subject.

No matter whether their job title is about "developer relationship" or something like that, they don't deserve to be harassed or talked aggressively.
It's _just their job_ and they don't deserve to face the direct consequences of their boss's shitty decisions.

Don't be an asshole. Please.

Especially to groups of people that already face violence just by their online presence, no matter their employer (like women, people of color, disabled and LGBTI+ folks for example)

I didn't believe it until I tried in myself, but Apple's removal of PWAs in EU will result in all local data stored in the PWA's storage being deleted (indexedDB, localStorage, etc).

This is because iOS has different storage for installed apps and Safari, and once the installed app is removed, so is its data.

If you are running a PWA where your users' data is stored primarily locally in web storage -- godspeed.

@andy It’s going to be so sad when #AppleBrowserBan goes away as then, like with #IE6, we have to find something else to project our anger at

"Without regulatory or legislative change, we risk losing a universal, free and open, write once, deploy anywhere, application distribution and deployment system..."

"Apps built with the free and open #web need equal treatment and integration. Closed and heavily taxed proprietary ecosystems should not receive any preference."
