Bill overview
The App Store Freedom Act aims to promote competition in the app marketplace by requiring operating systems to allow users to choose third-party app stores and install apps from outside the dominant app stores. It prohibits practices like requiring developers to use a covered company’s in-app payment system and taking punitive action against developers using alternative distribution methods. The bill also strengthens enforcement powers for the Federal Trade Commission and prevents states from enacting laws that conflict with its provisions.
