Last week, its Parliament passed an amendment to its Telecommunications Business Act with the aim of preventing app store operators, such as Google and Apple, from forcing app developers to use their in-store payment systems, for which they charge <strong>exorbitantly (Greatly exceeding bounds of reason or moderation)<\/strong>. The new law is also a check on the unfair use of market position. With digital commerce becoming <strong>ubiquitous (Being present everywhere at once)<\/strong>, and with the Googles and the Apples controlling this experience through their platforms, it has become <strong>imperative (Some duty that is essential and urgent) <\/strong>for government laws to regulate them. South Korea happens to be the first <strong>off the block (quick or slow to do something)<\/strong>. But a lot of other jurisdictions are not far behind. Australia, which only recently brought in a law to make Internet platforms pay media companies for displaying their content, is now reportedly thinking of bringing digital payment services such as Apple Pay, Google Pay and WeChat Pay under its regulatory <strong>ambit (An area in which something acts or operates or has power or control)<\/strong>. The European Union\u2019s draft law seeks to make these large platform companies, \u201cgatekeepers\u201d as it refers to them, comply with a set of dos and don\u2019ts that gives the smaller companies a fair chance. The EU proposal is also centred around customers having more choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But that is not all. In the U.S., last month, three Senators brought in a Bill much along the same lines. Introduced by Democrats Richard Blumenthal, Amy Klobuchar, and Republican Marsha Blackburn, it aims \u201cTo promote competition and reduce gatekeeper power in the app economy, increase choice, improve quality, and reduce costs for consumers.\u201d All this is happening in the <strong>backdrop (the general situation in which particular events happen) <\/strong>of the pending verdict in the well-known case in which Epic Games, the company behind \u2018Fortnite\u2019, sued Apple on this very issue. The legal move was triggered after Apple ousted Epic from its platform for putting up its own payment system, bypassing Apple\u2019s. The app store operators are clearly <strong>on the back foot (at a disadvantage)<\/strong> the world over. In India too, the <strong>angst (a strong feeling of being worried or nervous) <\/strong>of app developers has been evident in recent times. According to a report, Apple is facing an antitrust challenge in India from a Rajasthan-based non-profit called \u2018Together We Fight Society\u2019 on this issue. It remains to be seen if the regulator, the Competition Commission of India, orders an investigation. Last year, it started investigations into similar allegations against Google. A law to regulate app store operators is not a drastic departure from this government\u2019s thinking on such issues. Only recently, it promoted the setting up of the Open Network for Digital Commerce to \u201cdemocratise e-commerce\u201d and \u201cto provide alternatives to proprietary e-commerce sites\u201d. The challenge, however, is to protect the smaller sellers and developers without undermining the ecosystem for technological innovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/exams\/banking\/ibps-rrb-office-assistant\/?refcode=2682&amp;utm_source=Blog_The+Hindu+Editorial+Vocabulary%E2%80%93+Sep+8%2C+2021%3B+Day+135_080921_RRBOAM&amp;utm_medium=Link&amp;utm_campaign=RRBOAM\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/RRB_Clerk_250821-1024x128.jpg\" alt=\"RRB_Clerk_Free Mock\" class=\"wp-image-7796\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Hope you got to know some new words\/phrases which will definitely be useful in the English section of upcoming competitive exams.
