South Korea moves to ban Apple and Google’s payment exclusivity

The companies reportedly are both pushing back strongly against the bill, which has been dubbed the “anti-Google law.” If it passes, however, it would be one of the first major power checks on the tech companies by a major economy - essentially ending the commission on in-app purchases in the country. 

In a statement to Reuters, Apple said the bill "will put users who purchase digital goods from other sources at risk of fraud, undermine their privacy protections, make it difficult to manage their purchases."
