When one company controls the only authorized distribution channel on a dominant platform, it decides which competitors can operate, what fees they pay, and what safeguards are put in place. That kind of gatekeeping limits competition and consumer choice.

Apple does not merely manufacture the iPhone. It controls the operating system, the camera, default apps, and the App Store, which is the only authorized place to download third-party apps. It is a level of control monopolies of the past could only dream.

The App Store Freedom Act is a piece of legislation aimed at breaking up monopoly control in the mobile app industry. A small number of companies have controlled how apps are distributed, who gets access, and what developers must pay — all while claiming it’s about “security.”
Right now, two tech giants control nearly every digital transaction on your smartphone. They set the rules. They set the fees. And they extract what critics call “monopoly rents” from every app developer operating on their platforms – essentially leaving developers held hostage.
Consumers should have more authority when choosing apps on the devices they own.
By promoting competition in app marketplaces, it helps expand options, encourage innovation, and lower costs.

When you buy a phone, it’s yours.
So why can’t you fully choose which apps are on it?
The App Store Freedom Act protects your right to remove, hide, or replace default apps — putting control back in your hands.

@RepKatCammack App store monopolies stifle innovation and raise prices for mobile users. Thank you @RepKatCammack for leading the App Store Freedom Act to address this issue!
Security. Innovation. Competition. Three things Big Tech can't survive without.
The App Store Freedom Act disrupts one of the world’s most troubling monopolies and holds tech giants accountable. Nothing scares them more than competition cutting into their profits.
Disrupt monopolies. Protect American innovators. Pass the App Store Freedom Act. 🇺🇸💪

The Open App Markets Act ensures a fair, competitive mobile ecosystem where developers can innovate and consumers benefit from more choices and lower costs.
By limiting the power of dominant platforms to block, tax, or restrict apps, the Act restores transparency, promotes competition, and strengthens user freedom across the digital economy.
