[unabridged]

I don't think regulation is the answer. The US government should just create app.gov with a 1% fee or something and out compete them.

Eh. Governments should absolutely not get in the business of creating or running an app store. Mobile computing is, effectively, a necessity in the modern world but the web already serves as a great independent distribution platform. We should rather focus on not enabling the technology giants to gimp the web for their business moats.

Why? When they can make regulation once and that will be that?
