android authority Draft EU law would let you remove preinstalled phone apps

It’s not clear just which apps would be subject to the draft law, although it appears primarily aimed at “Big Tech” companies that strike deals to include their apps, like Facebook and Google. The EU fined Google for allegedly pushing phone makers to bundle its apps on Android phones. Google said companies weren’t forced to include its apps, but that was recently called into question after Epic Games accused it of blocking LG and OnePlus deals that would have offered Fortnite and other software beyond the Play Store.

This is a great move....but as we are now out of the EU, will we ever see that lol ?

I wouldn't be surprised if most EU laws end up being adopted here anyway.
