2020 has been a year of many things, obviously everything has been taken over by the pandemic that has affected the whole world, but it has also been a year with many controversies around various technology companies. It was also the year in which the different competition organizations have once again put technology in the spotlight. And now, hours after the end of the year, we already know who the new legislation of the European Union: Manzana. The new Digital Market Law plans to regulate the markets of applications, and obviously one of the first to be controlled is the App Store. Keep reading that we give you all the details of how this new law can influence the App Store.
And it is that one of the points that interests the most control is why we are offered one application and another when searching for them in the App Store. Every developer, no matter how small, would have to have the same opportunities when appearing in the App Store, so it would be consumers who would decide one app or another. Therefore, Apple should change the way it displays its results, their algorithms, prioritizing the final decision of the user, not an easy task that they must solve ...Pre-installed apps, such as Mail, Weather, etc., must also be uninstalled, these enjoy a key position since they come by default, and should compete at the same level as the others, according to the new EU Digital Markets Law.
We will see what 2021 holds, Apple is working to create a fair ecosystem, trying to avoid any hint of monopoly by which they can be judged, but the truth is that there is always some loose fringe that international organizations try not to remain unguarded. DIn failing to comply with the new rules, Apple and others would face fines of 10% of the company's annual revenue ... All this benefits us all and in the end it is the technological ones that have to be sincere and work according to the legislation. Having the decision to decide whether to opt for one application or another is a right that we must have, and in the end that they persuade us to choose something has to be a practice that is ending. We are finishing 2020, and we hope that 2021 will be a year in which we all have a little more decision.
