- 0:14Store in a matter of about 14 days.
- 0:17Although this stance has subsequently been softened
- 0:20Penning. The removal of certain payment
- 0:22features by the apps developers. This development might deter the
- 0:25process of making Bitcoin and easily usable transaction.

- 1:59A Then enables users to extend that tip linked with digital
- 2:03content within the app violating App Store, review guidelines.
- 2:07Now, Jack dorsey's reaction was a mixture of criticism and
- 2:11defensiveness. He argued that tipping on post
- 2:13was not akin to selling digital content, or rather a form of
- 2:17feedback. Questioning, the restrictions on
- 2:19people sending Bitcoin to each other.
- 2:21Dorsey pointed out the potential benefits of global payment

- 3:13December of last year to the team responsible for the
- 3:16development of Noster, a decentralized, social media
- 3:19initiative designed to operate without in specific leader or a
- 3:23commercial entity. Now, Noster users have the
- 3:27advantage of maintaining their identities across multiple
- 3:31Noster powered app such as famous and exchanging Bitcoin
- 3:34via the lightning Network. A Dorsey is also invested in
- 3:37Blue Sky and messaging app construction on the 80 protocol,
- 3:42it decentralized, networking technology and although blue sky
- 3:45is still in its nascent stages and only available to users
- 3:48through invitations. It's been growing in popularity.
- 3:51As users are gradually. Migrating from Twitter due to
- 3:54the increase in hate speech and bugs.
- 3:57However, it's worth noting the Blue Sky still Miles behind the
- 4:00popular messaging app bought by Tesla CEO Elon Musk last fall.
- 4:05And in a tweet on Tuesday Dimas warned, its users that Apple's
- 4:09App Store might take down the decentralized social networking
- 4:12app due to. Non-compliance Apple has granted
- 4:16day. Miss a deadline of June 27th to
- 4:18bring its app in mind, with the guidelines or risk being removed
- 4:22completely from the Apple Store. Now, Damien has described.
- 4:26Apples decision is pretty sus, especially Ring its timing.
- 4:30Right before the dam is team is due to appear at oslo's Freedom
- 4:34Forum to discuss Bitcoins potential role in achieving
- 4:37Financial Freedom via decentralized, social media,
- 4:41William. Catherine a developer for Dame
- 4:43has told decrypt. They are trying to make the
- 4:46argument as sins apps potentially enable content
- 4:48creators to sell digital with lightning.
- 4:52This would be against their guidelines, this threatens, any
- 4:55app on the App Store that interacts with lightning in any
- 4:58way, This confirm the Dimas was not explicitly facilitating the
- 5:03sale of digital content via Bitcoin, but they also warned
- 5:07that the recent clampdown on peer-to-peer payments could
- 5:10potentially affect any app that allows users to post lightning
- 5:13invoices, the conflict between Apple's App Store and control
- 5:17over emerging technology is a new and in 2022, F will begin
- 5:22charging. A standard 30 percent commission
- 5:24on in app and ft sales. This move was criticized by epic
- 5:28game, CEO. Tim Sweeney Guy who called the
- 5:30commission grotesquely overpriced.
- 5:33Once again, apples 30% cut made the headlines this year in
- 5:37relation to open a eyes popular chat, gbt chatbot.
- 5:41The creators of the machine Learning System.
- 5:44Chose to comply with the Apple App Stores terms by opting for
- 5:47the in-house in-app purchase mechanism rather than setting up
- 5:51a separate subscription site. And while open a, I may not have
- 5:55any qualms about complying with apples policies.
- 5:58A seems federal law is signed I think to some extent with
- 6:02critics of Apple epic games had filed a lawsuit against Apple in
- 6:052020, over its 30% commission. A recent ruling from the US
- 6:10Federal appeals court stated that while Apple had violated
- 6:13California's, unfair competition law by forbidding alternative
- 6:16payment methods. It is not infringed upon the US
- 6:19antitrust laws. Now, the day Miss Kay's,
- 6:22currently under contention is emblematic of the broader
- 6:25tension between Tech giants. Like apple and the ever evolving
- 6:29world of the realized apps and cryptocurrency.
- 6:32And as these Technologies push the boundaries of conventional
- 6:34business models, we're not really sure what's going to be
- 6:37happening with regulations and policies and how they'll adapt
- 6:40to accommodate the new digital Frontier.
