Regulatory pressures on major tech platforms are intensifying worldwide. Italy recently imposed a €116 million fine on Apple over App Store privacy policies, signaling stricter enforcement of user data protection standards. Meanwhile, Brazil is taking a more aggressive stance, pushing Apple to open its payment infrastructure to alternative payment methods—a move that challenges traditional closed-loop ecosystems. Japan has also stepped up, rolling out new mobile software competition laws designed to level the playing field for third-party developers. These policy shifts globally echo broader demands for more open systems and fair competition, which resonates with Web3's core values. In parallel, China is proposing comprehensive AI regulations that will reshape the gaming industry and related digital services. Collectively, these developments paint a picture of governments worldwide reasserting control over digital platforms and their operational practices.

ngl, the thing about countries working together to clamp down on Apple should have happened a long time ago... But what's really interesting is Brazil's approach, directly smashing the payment system... Now that's truly Web3 friendly.
