The US Senate is also looking into the App Store case

TheEuropean Commission, responsible for investigating the practices of large companies, has been interested in the Apple case for several months now. But we still do not know what potential court decision could result, especially since other legislators have also decided to ride the same horse.

Among them, it is therefore a member of parliament who is in the news this week. It is aboutAmy Klobuchar, head of the United States Senate Judiciary Committee. If her name is not unfamiliar to you, it is probably because she ran for the post of president of the country before withdrawing in favor of Joe Biden during the Democratic primaries in 2020.

Auditions are planned

According to CNN's Brian Fung, Klobuchar planned to interview big names in tech in an attempt to learn more about how services such asthe Google Play Store or the App Store. From there to assuming that Tim Cook or the lawyers of the Apple firm find themselves in front of the same microphone as Mark Zuckerberg or Howard Hugues, there is only one step.

No questions seem to have leaked at the moment, but we can already assume that the30% commissionthat more and more developers are criticizingsuch as Epic Gamesbe studied for the occasion. The different promotion of apps like Music or TV+, to the detriment of the competitioncarried for example by Spotify, could also enter the viewfinder.

A major opponent for Apple

In the United States, Klobuchar's pedigree is impressive: a partner in a renowned law firm alongside former Vice-President Mondale, it was she who allegedly encouraged Joe Biden to choose Kamala Harris for this position. She is also known for her work on the billThe Competition and Antitrust Law Enforcement Reform Act, as it indicates, focused on the same issues as the Apple case.

Her performances are also impressive: always elected with around sixty percent of the votes, she would have supported according toGovTrack(2018 figures) 111 proposed laws finally accepted. A record.
