Here we go again. Google's new "compliance" plan perpetuates fees and restrictions that violate the Digital Markets Act. The law is clear: consumers and developers deserve a fair and competitive ecosystem. We will continue to address these issues with the European Commission.

Designating Apple and Google’s mobile ecosystems and working to let developers communicate are vital steps but deferring reforms like alternative app stores and payments is not good enough. @CMAgovUK must act to unlock real choice and fairer digital markets.

Competition enforcers around the world are coming to the same conclusion: Google's monopoly over app payments is harming consumers and developers alike. We look forward to working with KPPU to ensure a fair & competitive mobile ecosystem for all Indonesians.

We commend @MarshaBlackburn @SenBlumenthal for introducing the Open App Markets Act, which will:.🔓Unlock app stores.📉Reduce prices w/ more competition.🚫Ban anti-competitive practices. We thank these Senators for their enduring leadership and urge swift passage.
Big Tech giants have forced American consumers to use their app stores at the expense of innovative startups that threaten their bottom line. Today, @SenBlumenthal and I filed the Open App Markets Act to promote competition and protect consumers within the app market.

Courts to Apple: enough is enough. Apple lost its last-ditch attempt to maintain monopoly rents, limit consumer choice, and stifle innovation. Congress can make these changes permanent, and adding additional reforms to unlock the full potential of the app economy.
Apple lost its request to pause a court order requiring it to let App Store developers steer users to the web to purchase in-app items without paying a commission
