first party titles what we're really focused on doyne a doing as well is creating a new universal app storehat will enable any gamer on any device to access and download and use any app. so it works for mobile, it works on consoles, it work on pcs, it will, i think, really bring new opportunities to people who create games and people who play them >> reporter: the company is also releasing a list of what it calls 11 app store principles, up on microsoft's website later today, that describe exactly how the company is going ting to ha the app store and the promise they're making to competitor and developers they're saying it won't use proprietary data that is nonpublic in terms of competing with other developers who are developing apps that will be sold on its app store. brad smith told me in our exclusive conversation just now that a lot of this is designed to get around regulator concerns about the company getting to be too big. he says they're designing a lot of their approach here with washington in mind take a listen. >> this has to be approved by regulators in 17 countries i think they

but that is not true because the app store eileen go using is the us app store in i phone because, you know, there are many vps available, but that's the vpn is not available in the app store in china. so, you know, he's trying to make things look better than it is about china also he mentioned about post, right. he said, oh, i'm very happy to see that she attended my event. you know, he's out there out about without to mention the broader context to that poster. it doesn't actually have the freedom to speak her mind. it's very interesting about hung for, of course we, we know that the international olympic committee is, thomas bach has, has made some comments. could you tell us a little bit more about that controversy because it's been embedded into the games . yes. you know, bob has had several calls with pung, shy, to show that he, you know, look, he's, do you find, she told me, she's great, she's house a, he has freedom. but of this, we are know that, you know, this is part of the chinese government's stage to appearance are people who, you know, had, who are crazy, the government

i join senator blumenthal and senator blackburn to open up the twin app store up monopolies that apple and google operate, the open app market app -- act. i am also proud of the bipartisan legislation that senator grassley and i have introduced to prevent dominant digital platforms from engaging in behavior that harms competition by favoring their own products and services because they own them. we have authors from across the political spectrum on that bill. someone referred to it as the ocean's eleven of sponsors. american businesses and consumers need a renewed and strengthened antitrust movement a movement grounded in a procompetitive economic agenda that will actually help capitalism and innovation across the economy. we must act now to protect american innovation and promote competitiveness in tech, health care, and all sectors of the american economy. i will turn it over to ranking member senator lee and i note that our chair is here, senator durbin. if you would like to say a few words when senator lee is finished. sen. lee: thank you chair klobuchar. i am a huge advocate of th

in place. >> senator blumenthal mentioned earlier that there are not just considerations in the app store here in the united states, but also internationally that foreign governments have taken action in removing apps from the app store there. i think it all comes down to the ability for people to decide for themselves which apps they would like to use. as of right now, people do not have that freedom to choose on platforms like the iphone. >> professor alford. >> in my prepared remarks i discuss quality fixing in addition to price fixing. you and senator lee have both talked about the parler example and which google, apple and amazon have kicked off parler. with respect to the reasons they decided to kick parler off of their platforms, i think there could be a quality fixing argument. i'm surprised there's not more subpoenas or investigations with respect to big tech companies when they are engaging in quality fixing, such as let's develop a common position, let's get on the same page about this privacy concern or this desire and effort to squelch conservative voices to the extent there

you know, they want to be the iphone, they want to own the app store. they also want to own all the developers. i mean, imagine that apple just started buying the most successful apps on their platform to increase the revenue. it's real, it's a real risk and i urge everyone to kind of look to the future, which is where mark's arkenberg head is that and it's really glad that people are still focused on whatsapp and instagram and how that relates to take doc. if you move beyond that a long time ago, i think jim, this is way because also interesting when you look at what zak a book has been saying, basically is the fact that just by one single button, a decision by apple to change the privacy in its operating system cost facebook, something like $10000000000.00. yeah, it's interesting. i mean in many ways that shows the power of apple. if you want to talk about it, had to trust your apple can make very significant changes. and given the dominance of it, it's holden over the phone and enhance that. it can have incredibly significant implications to companies

advanced a bipartisan bill that would shake up apple and google's business models for their mobile app stores. >> consumers pay it. competitors can't compete because they are denied access fairly. if consumers want to side of apps from a browser. they should be allowed to, but they should do so knowing what that means. >> u.s. senator from california, alex padilla worries that without changes, this legislation could make consumers more vulnerable. fellow california senator dianne feinstein also questioned why the bill specifically targets app stores with more than 50 million users in the u.s. still lawmakers advance the legislation to the full senate. >> tesla announced today that it will recall more than 800, 17,000 vehicles. tesla says seatbelt reminder chimes may not sound when the vehicles are started and the driver hasn't buckled up. federal laws require the chimes to sound when the car started and the sound stops when front belts are buckled. well, the recall affects 2017 to 2022 model threes 2020 to 2022. model wise. and 21 to 2022 model s and model x is. >> next, we'll hear from san f

confidential business information or app store rankings to disadvantage developers. if app store gatekeepers violate these rules of the road, the bill allows for developer lawsuits. it also includes safeguards to allow app stores to protect the privacy, security, and safety of consumers as well as their own intellectual property rights. it's bipartisan and it is a good, solid, strong first step. but remember, our tradition of maintaining competitive marketplaces isn't the only thing at stake here. this weekend the opening ceremonies of the olympic games in beijing drew in 16 million viewers. that's down from the last winter games in 2018 so hopefully this means that the various campaigns exposing the crimes and manipulation of the chinese communist party are making a difference. but still that 16 million people and their families are taking in chinese propaganda. the games' corporate sponsors weren't worried about that. they were happy to take advantage of all those eyeballs. and we know nbc hopes to surpass the nearly $2 billion in revenue they pulled in during the

the app sits at the number one spot for free downloads in apple's app store, but almost as soon as it debuted, the glitches started. users who downloaded the app reported issues registering for the service. there is now a waitlist which has grown to 250,000 people. the former president is trying to get back onto social media a year after he was suspended by multiple mainstream platforms, including facebook, twitter, youtube, following the january 6 capital riot. mr. trump says he wants to champion free speech and challenge the censorship of the mainstream sites. >> if anyone is going to take on silicon valley, and try to offer an alternative, you would think it would be the former president of the united states, right? he has the attention online, he has a following still, regardless of what happened, and as a result, it is one of those things where this could be a really fascinating thing to watch. >> cnet editor at large ian schurz says the president may have an uphill battle going up against the mainstream forms. the app joins a growing number of digital platforms popular with cons

apple and google dropped yours from their app store is amazon web services canceled your hosting, amazon than apple. and google are themselves controversial for wielding near monopoly power. and one of the very few things everyone here in washington seems to agree on is the big tech, has gotten too big, has it? yes, it has. the tech is absolutely enormous. now they impact every part of your life. i mean, i, i stage this question to a few of my friends last year. try and name me, try maybe an operating system for a mobile device that sits outside of apple, google, outside of android iris, and most of them are left scratching their heads for ages because they just couldn't think of one. you know, the answer was if you, if you're in the tech world, you know, you would know the linux based system as an operating system outside of the to tech johns. but they are enormous. now there is actually monopoly control. busy and you've seen these regulations come up in the you particularly where they're trying to take on the monopoly position of some of these tech cooperates. you also saying, washingt

marsha blackburn and connecticut democratic senator richard blumenthal are targeting the mobile app store the mobile market is broken there. bipartisan legislation would change how users download and pay for the apps through apple and google. right now those companies can impose up to a 30% fee on app developers. consumers pay it. >> competitors can't compete because they are denied access fairly women fallen blackburn want to remove apple and google as middlemen saving money, time and effort and energy for consumers. >> and opening up if innovative environment for a lot of bright minds, these big tech companies say their systems are necessary to protect user security. >> and some lawmakers like california senator alex padilla worry that without changes this legislation could make consumers more vulnerable. if consumers want to side of apps from a browser. >> they should be allowed to, but they should do so knowing what that means. fellow california democrat senator dianne feinstein also questioned why the bill specifically targets app stores with more than 50 million users in the u.s.. i

and it is also notable to that they are putting this up on the app store. now the question becomes, when is it going to be removed by apple by google? because that's the biggest thing obviously that we've seen with a lot of this track down, especially on trump himself, is that you have those major tech companies that have the full control over it. at the end of the day, i guess it just matters how many users they given the ad there, but that's it for this time you can get both on demand on the portable tv app available on smartphones and tablets to google play in the apple app store by searching portable tv, portable tv can also be downloaded on samsung, smart tvs, and roku devices, or simply check it out. affordable dot tv will see you next time. mm . in june. and i was pretty shocked by this. really. i mean, i knew the dollar was vulnerable and i knew the dollar wasn't trouble, but i didn't know the us dollar wasn't this much trouble. dad, country like el salvador, as you point out, it's a $3540000000000.00 economy by them making big claim legal tender. w

it's available to the apple app store. is is one of the reasons as i said earlier we need the nondiscrimination policies. but the important thing to realize with what apple is doing is with this app you have to download for the olympics. if you're going to the olympics, if you participate the chinese communist party has access, they would probably say they have ownership of that data. they could to value and track you and if you double the digital than they are in your wallet, they know who you are communicating with they are able to surveilled an audit those conversations, we are quite concerned about the security and safety of those olympians while they are there. for the developers and innovators that want to market their app on the app store apple is taking 30% of the cost if we could pass a bill it is going to be security and protection it is going to lower the cost of the app. jon: senator marsha blackburn we will watch legislation. thank you. do as i say not as i do, stacey abrams is taking heat from the big names af

the success of software can depend on its presence in the app store for which apple charges 15 to 30 percent of revenue. david hina meyer hanson can't accept that. the entrepreneur lives in malibu, california. he became famous in tech circles with his base camp software. and he says, you tell us, if you don't like the deal, you can just get out of here. you can just shut down your business. how is that a choice? is it just felt like mafia tactics even the way they showed up to demand? the money was just despicable. i know my hands on wanted to distribute his new e mail software without paying huge commissions and producers 30 percent of the whole economy and printed to say, like my said 30 percent, not 40 percent. maybe we should just raise our prices. this is a captive audience. nonetheless, which is exactly the essence of monopoly power. other companies are also taking action against apples commission in 2019 spotify sued in europe, prompting the european commission to initiate anti trust proceedings. in the u. s. game developer epic games also filed an anti trust complaint in 2020

they have risen very far up in the app store for apple, up to number two. another couple company, another crypto exchange and a top five, let alone the top-ten or the top 20, if you don't count the cash app, for the apple app store. so in that way it is a success. but with all that said, you are not seeing a surge in bitcoin prices that go along with all these potential new users. you have coinbase giving away $15 to new users, millions to existing customers as gratitude, but bitcoin prices itself as a result of all these promotions and these other exchanges has not risen even $1000 over the last couple days, even with a little bit of a decline in last couple of days. so, what does this mean at the end? what does it mean for these companies? these customer acquisition costs move them forward might get difficult. and if you look at companies like coinbase, like sofi even who hosted the super bowl, now trading stocks, now trading crypto, along with etoro as well, -- sofi and coinbase are down more than 20% on the year when you look at their stocks in u.s. tra
