Apple announced it will allow alternative app stores in Japan and will permit developers to process payments for digital goods and services outside of its own in-app purchase system in iOS. The iPhone maker is not making these changes because it wants to be more open; it’s being forced — in this case, to comply with the country’s Mobile Software Competition Act (MSCA), which is now going into effect.
With this update, Apple’s App Store revenues are being impacted in another major market due to anticompetition laws and regulations. The company already has to comply with Europe’s Digital Markets Act (DMA), which previously required the tech giant to allow for alternative app stores and other changes.
great step forward, lets see if this can be implemented elsewhere (it won’t, but im allowed to dream)
When something is a privilege nation-states can decide to give or not, it doesn’t become common.
All things common are what’s perceived as natural right recognized by nation-states.
People in power of nation-states only learn to respect natural rights after storms. Then over time forget them again.
