I hope at the very least apple can mandate that the additional app stores enforce the same privacy and safety rules, or would the EU consider that allowing people to not be spied on be to much of an infringement of the rights of business?

I don’t want buying an app to now come with the risk of uncancellable subscriptions, gross invasion of privacy, malware, etc
