Apple Inc. urged top lawmakers to reject an antitrust bill set for consideration by a U.S. Senate committee on Thursday that would force the company to let consumers install apps from outside its App Store.
The company said the bill, S. 2710, would harm user security and privacy, create expansive liability exposure and legal uncertainty, and would deny consumer choice. The company made the statements in a letter, obtained by Bloomberg News, that was sent to Senate Judiciary Chair Dick Durbin and ranking Republican Chuck Grassley ahead of their committee’s discussion of the bill.
