On June 24, U.S. Senator Marsha Blackburn and a bipartisan coalition of lawmakers reintroduced the 'Open Markets Act', aimed at challenging the monopoly of Apple and Google in app stores. This legislative effort reignites the debate over the control exerted by large tech companies over the app economy. The Act prohibits app stores from enforcing exclusive use of their own payment systems, ensuring developers can utilize third-party payment methods. Additionally, it prevents app stores from imposing unfair terms and conditions on app developers. This initiative seeks to broaden consumer choice, lower purchase costs, and foster increased competition within the app market. In response, Apple and Google have maintained that their commission fees are in accordance with market standards and are essential for the upkeep and operation of their respective app stores. Nonetheless, the Act has been welcomed by developers, who believe it will establish a more equitable competitive landscape for them.
