@dwr.eth moving convo from twitter over here :) Do you think we should not pressure Apple to make changes, given that they hold only access to apps on iPhone? https://twitter.com/ericmigi/status/1585137190614732801

There are 3 antitrust bills before congress. AICO - mandates that the 5 largest tech companies do not self preference their own applications over others App store bill - mandates that Apple allow sideloading, same as what Android allows today ACCESS - requires 5 big tech companies to provide interoperable interfaces

I've learned a lot over last year, it's remarkably straightforward to lobby. Costs ~$10k/month to hire a lobbyist to manage everything for you + 1 hour here and there to take zoom meetings with congressional offices.
