Republican Sen. Marsha Blackburn and Democrat Sen. Richard Blumenthal have sent a letter to the Senate Judiciary Committee announcing growing bipartisan support for a bill that would rein in the grip that Big Tech and China have on app markets.
"We write as Chinese human rights activists, pro-democracy movements, national security experts, and members of persecuted religious communities to share our deep concerns with Apple’s use of its monopolistic dominance and its collusion with the Chinese government to stifle freedom of expression in China," the letter, written in support of the bipartisan Open App Markets Act and signed by dozens of human rights activists and organizations, states.
The letter includes examples of Apple cooperating with Chinese censorship, including blocking apps that provide support to Christians, supporters of democracy in Hong Kong, as well as the Uyghur and Tibetan community. The bill, which its sponsors argue "would set fair, clear, and enforceable rules to protect competition and strengthen consumer protections within the app market," will have a markup hearing on Thursday before being sent to the Senate floor.
