Japan has passed a new law prohibiting Apple and Google from blocking third-party developers from selling apps on their platforms, aiming to enhance user choices and market competition. The legislation mandates that these tech giants allow app developers to use their preferred payment systems instead of being forced to use Apple’s or Google’s native options. The Japan Fair Trade Commission (JFTC) emphasized that the law, approved by the National Diet, seeks to foster innovation and offer consumers diverse services.
