Apple, Google face open doors in Japan for EU-style app store rules
The EU's Digital Markets Act and Japan's upcoming legislation aim to require Apple and Google to allow app downloading from outside their official app stores. The regulations are being implemented to prevent abuse of their dominant position in the market. The Japanese legislation, expected to be sent to parliament next year, will restrict platform operators from keeping users within their own ecosystems and shutting out competitors. The Japan Fair Trade Commission (JFTC) will have the authority to impose fines of up to 6% of revenue for non-compliance.
