In 2021, lawmakers in Louisiana aimed to approve a bill allowing app developers alternative payment systems to challenge Apple's app store fees, seen as a threat to Apple's revenue.
A senior lawmaker, Tanner Magee, revealed that an Apple employee implied the company would cancel the filming of 'Emancipation' in retaliation for supporting the app store bill.
Magee recounted the conversation where Apple allegedly warned that if the bill wasn't killed, it would hurt the local economy by moving the movie's location.
Apple denies the accusations, asserting that it conducts its business with integrity and that claims of intimidation regarding the film are false.
