Open App Markets Act: More Choice, Lower Prices for Apps.

This act aims to increase competition in the mobile app market. It prevents large app store operators from forcing developers to use their payment systems or restricting communication with users. Citizens will gain more app choices, the ability to install from various sources, and potentially lower prices.
Key points
More app choices: You can install apps from outside the main store and set them as defaults.
Potentially lower app prices: Developers can offer different prices in different places, which may lead to reductions.
Greater device control: You can hide or delete pre-installed apps.
Improved privacy protection: Companies must ensure clear rules for user consent regarding data collection by apps.
