Is filtering for malware forbidden by any law? And btw, those apps that the app store is full of that trick you into a $80/month subscription aren't malware?

- stavros 2y agoYes, the law in question, which forbids Apple banning apps that share functionality with Apple's apps.
- nottorp 2y agoSo Apple's apps are malware? :p
- stavros 2y agoTo clarify the original premise: I release an app that BOTH plays music AND is malware. Under this law, Apple can't ban the app (because it's malware) because the law prevents it to (because the app plays music, competing with one of Apple's apps).
- nottorp 2y agoThe app is already illegal because of whatever other laws apply to it. You don't even have to have digital specific laws, any law dealing with fraud or theft will apply. Bonus: you haven't read the Japanese law in the original Japanese legalese*, just an english summary. * And since it's in legalese, you probably couldn't even if you spoke some Japanese.
