How the American Innovation and Choice Online Act (S. 2992) Would Undermine App Stores

S. 2992 seeks to undo the current management structures of large, privately managed marketplaces, including software platforms (app store / operating system combinations). The provisions seek to limit actions large platforms take that would advantage their own
offerings or disadvantage other offerings. The central provisions of S. 2992 require open access to personal information and operating system and device features. As a result, S.2992 requires software platform operators to allow sideloaded software and app stores
by default. Some of the largest sellers on the app stores support S. 2992 because it would force software platforms to distribute their products for free. However, S. 2992 would ultimately do a lot more harm than good.
