“Japan’s move follows a trend of international legislative efforts aimed at regulating the dominance of major tech companies. The European Union’s Digital Markets Act (DMA) and the UK’s Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Bill are similar initiatives designed to foster competition and prevent monopolistic practices. Various antitrust cases in the United States are also targeting similar issues.”
Japan: Well America cleary isn’t going to do it so fuck it we’ll do it live!
So, are they going to force Nintendo and PlayStation to do this as well? No?
They won’t and they can’t do this to Japanese megacorps.
Nintendo orders the police to raid places on the mere suspicion of rom selling.

Still waiting on a fax from them to confirm.
And elsewhere people are in defense of Vale, which is accused of tying sales, pricing clauses and excessive tarrifs.
Good that these walled gardens are being broken open, as it not only allows for direct competition, it also required companies to think about safety and security. It is high time that apps are “containerized” and users given direct control over what is accessible to an app and what not. And if data is accessed that it is transparent what data is collected.
