Also, I can’t tell if I’m glad apps where I live won’t be redirecting me to the web for payment or not. On one hand it’s giving the web a bit more utility, on the other hand it makes it easier to scam people across platforms… idk. It’s really too bad we can’t intact regulation that puts the interests of companies like Apple and their users more inline.
