The App Store Freedom Act aims to create a fairer app marketplace by prohibiting unfair practices by companies that control app stores and operating systems. The legislation seeks to enhance competition and protect both app developers and consumers from potentially exploitative behaviors, thereby fostering a more equitable environment for all stakeholders involved. Key provisions of the Act require companies that own app stores to allow users to select third-party apps and app stores as defaults, install apps from outside their own platforms, and remove pre-installed applications.
