WASHINGTON : A U.S. Senate panel is set on Thursday to debate a bill that aims to rein in app stores of companies that some lawmakers say exert too much market control, including Apple Inc and Alphabet Inc's Google.
Blumenthal, a Democrat, said in a statement the bill aims to"stop Apple and Google from crushing competitors and undercutting consumers. Breaking the ironclad grip of these two behemoths on the multi-billion dollar app market is long overdue." "Tech giants are forcing their own app stores on users at the expense of innovative start-ups," she said.Apple said earlier its app store was"an unprecedented engine of economic growth and innovation, one that now supports more than 2.1 million jobs across all 50 states."
