LONDON (AFP) — Apple and Google have pledged changes to ensure fairness in their app stores, the U.K. competition watchdog said Tuesday, describing it as “first steps” under its tougher regulation of technology giants.
The Competition and Markets Authority placed the two companies under “strategic market status” last year, giving it powers to impose stricter rules on their mobile platforms.
Apple and Google have submitted packages of commitments to improve fairness and transparency in their app stores, which the authority is now consulting market participants on.
