Post-2008, globally important financial institutions are required to submit private, internal risk reports to regulators. It would not always be prudent to make this information public, but it makes good sense for regulators to see it -- privately.

It seems like if we want to have "fair" duopoly app stores (Apple and Android), then we need a regulator who is fully embedded and integrated into the process, but can view all details of the decision, including ones that should legitimately stay private (security, etc.). To be clear, the regulator needs to have the final say on what will be private and not. Also, the regulator needs to be involved in the appeals process.

That said, I still think we need to allow multiple app stores on each platform. Meta is large enough to do it. Yeah, I know, that will get no love here. And, unfortunately, it probably means lower security for unsophisticated end-users.
