Im not really into congress defining how apps get reviewed. I’d rather see it just get broken up in some way. Either you can’t have a phone and an app store (like the studio/movie model) or they at least have to support other app stores. Side note: my iPhone autocorrected app store to App Store, which I think is another example of overreach.

The studio/movie regulation was overturned....

  What was this regulation? I'm unaware of it

    Primarily the Paramount case[1] and agreements entered into by the studios as a consequence. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_v._Paramount_Pictures,_Inc https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_v._Paramount_Pic....

      Thanks! Seems to be quite a landmark case I wasn't aware of. Interesting, but possibly not surprising that it's now been overturned.

  … and this actually happened about two weeks ago: https://www.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nysd.527174/gov.uscourts.nysd.527174.52.0.pdf https://www.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nysd.527174... I wonder how familiar the people espousing an expansive view of antitrust law here on HN are with the actual administrative and judicial state of antitrust enforcement.

    Well looking at the loss of fake internet points. Plenty. I even got a downvote for posting the fact above... That the consent decree was lifted. It’s strange because every time that the government has done anything with regard to tech, HN users are in universal disagreement - rolling back net neutrality, a DMCA, COPPA, trying to weaken encryption, finding out everything the government was doing based on the Snowden leaks, etc. But yet they still for some reason want the government to be more involved.

The store should set it's policy, law just ensures equal rights and review process for developers

It also autocorrects Xerox, Siri, Microsoft, etc. as they are all formal names in its dictionary (in this case, registered trademarks).

  Sure, it autocorrects other brand names. But I think it puts its own brands on uneven footing. App Store corrects. Google play store does not, even though the latter is less generic.
