Proton Joins Antitrust Lawsuit Against Apple Over App Store Abuses

Proton has joined a class-action lawsuit against Apple, alleging anti-competitive practices in Apple's App Store. The lawsuit claims Apple abuses its monopoly on iOS app distribution by charging excessive commissions, stifling competition, hindering privacy-focused apps, and censoring apps to appease authoritarian regimes. Proton pledges to donate any awarded damages to organizations fighting for democracy and human rights. This action represents a significant challenge to tech monopolies and has major implications for the future of the internet and online freedom.
