A new draft law would forced Apple to allow third -party applications

Actor Kat Cammack (R-FL) has presented a bill on Tuesday that requires “the big application store operators” such as Apple to allow users to install and set the third-party application stores as hypothetical. The bill, called The Law of the App StoreIt aims to “enhance competition and protect consumers and developers in the mobile phone applications market,” according to Press statement on Tuesday.

Although the draft law does not mention Apple by name, it maintains the rules of “large application store operators”, which defines it as application stores that have more than 100 million users in the United States. The draft law will also target Google practices, as it will force the main application stores to allow developers to use third -party payment systems.

This may also require Apple and Google to provide developers “equal access to facades, features and development tools without cost or discrimination”, as well as allowing users to remove or hide pre -installed applications. Violations of the draft law will lead to penalties from the Federal Trade Committee, as well as an additional civil penalty amounting to one million dollars for every violation.

Cammack said in the press statement: “The dominant applications stores controlled customer data and forced consumers to use the markets of the markets for markets, instead of the original offers within the application provided by the applications and the developers themselves,” Cammack said in the press statement. Results are higher prices and limited choices for consumers and anti -competition practices for developers who strangled innovation. “
