Apple to Australians: You're Too Stupid to Choose Your Own Apps
Briefly

Apple's warning to the Australian government criticizes potential regulation similar to the EU's Digital Markets Act (DMA). This act addresses Big Tech's lock-in power by promoting interoperability, allowing users to escape from monopolistic platforms without losing their digital memories. It also empowers small businesses by permitting independent payment processing, reducing the significant commission Apple takes on transactions. Additionally, the DMA mandates options for sideloading apps, enabling consumers to access alternative app stores, thereby challenging Apple's restrictive policies and high fees.
