Proton, known for its privacy-focused software, has filed a lawsuit against Apple, claiming the tech giant haunts a monopoly over smartphone and app distribution markets. Argaining that Apple’s fees function like tariffs on internet commerce, Proton aims to prompt changes to the App Store and seeks damages intended for organizations fighting for democracy and human rights. As part of a broader class-action suit, Proton's case aligns with other developer complaints about Apple's restrictive policies, particularly around payment processing and customer engagement.
Proton argues that Apple's high App Store fees are comparable to tariffs, asserting they are 'artificial and arbitrary,' thus questioning Apple's monopoly in app distribution.
According to the lawsuit, Proton seeks not only monetary damages but also significant changes to Apple's App Store practices, aiming to protect developer rights.
