How this affects you

Apple has stated that the American Innovation and Choice Online Act (AICOA) will undermine privacy, security, and child safety protections, while also making it more difficult for them to conduct business in the U.S. If passed, the bill could significantly alter how major tech companies operate their platforms by banning self-preferencing and mandating open platform access, potentially impacting user experience and data security.
