Oh hey, my Senator, Dick Durbin, finally did something I like. It's nice to see the Open App Markets Act revived. I hope it actually goes somewhere this time. :blobfoxreachaww: I'm not a huge fan of the carve outs or giving Apple and Google final say on what's allowed on their platforms, but it expressly calls for side-loading so that's good.
Apple and Google should absolutely not be able to tell consumers what apps they can and can't have on their devices. It's wild to me how many people support these billion dollar corporations' ability to censor hardware they paid for. :corgi_wtf1: Allowing side-loading and curbing the worst, most anticompetitive behavior by these companies should be a no-brainer to everyone.

CW: Long thread/19
III. Open up app stores: 30% of every dollar spent on app-based digital subscriptions is claimed by two companies, #Google the mobile duopoly. This #AppStoreTax is a pure transfer from news to tech. The EU's #DigitalMarketsAct and the proposed US #OpenAppMarketsAct are both designed to kill the app store tax. Dropping mobile payment processing fees from 30% to the industry standard 2-5% will instantaneously make increase the revenue from every subscriber by 25% or more.
