I honestly expect the congress to remove Apple powers as gatekeeper

So you expect the same government that passed DMCA, COPPA, that is trying to get rid of end to end encryption, did the things that came out via Snowden, warranties wiretaps, buying location data from carriers, dismantled net neutrality, etc. to actually not do something malicious with more power and control?

If the Apple Store is the only store for iOS devices, they have to allow any app in and let the authorities handle misbehaviour

So Apple should have allowed the Facebook VPN so that spied on users? You really want the government controlling which apps can go on your phone? Have you been paying attention to the government over the past two decades? You really want to give it more power?

That's what I expect from the country that sell itself as the land of the free (and champion of free market)

So more government control is your definition of a free market?

are you familiar with the concept of "non sequitur"?

are you obsessed with those topics?

You keep posting them over and over, are you ok?

at least I can vote for politics

can I vote for the Apple board of directors?

Fair regulation is, yes.

There is no free unregulated market.

Regulation is a government duty.

BUT

as someone else already told to you

"I'm unsure how [...] it is related to any of that."

p.s.: is a Nobel laureate in economic science good enough to explain you why the faith in unregulated free markets is silly?
