On December 5, the House Subcommittee on Commerce, Manufacturing, and Trade held a hearing on legislation to protect children online. Reps. Kat Cammack and Lori Trahan discussed their bipartisan legislation, the App Store Freedom Act.
As Representative Trahan noted: “Apple and Google control access to nearly all American smart phones and federal courts have already found that they hold monopoly power over those markets. They wield that dominance to block third party app stores while profiting from their own inadequate child safety practices.”
Added Representative Cammack: “Imagine for a moment what it would look like if parents – parents – were allowed to build an online marketplace – an app marketplace – where they could vet the apps and know for sure that their kids were safe. Today that is not possible and only our bill, the App Store Freedom Act, can do that.”
Congress should pass the App Store Freedom Act now.
