Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has once again spoken out about Apple's App Store saying the company's behavior 'raises questions' and 'deserves scrutiny'.
The CEO made the comments during an interview with Axios:
Calls for investigation of Apple App Store
"I do think that there are questions that people should be looking into about that control of the App Store and whether that is enabling as robust of a competitive dynamic."
Should the government investigate?
"I think I'm not necessarily the person to answer that," Zuckerberg said. "I think some of the behavior certainly raises questions. And I do think it's something that deserves scrutiny."
Zuckerberg has become more vocal in his criticism against Apple after the company refused to allow Facebook to offer cloud games via its Facebook Gaming app. Additionally, Apple rejected a Facebook app update that would reveal its cut of in-app purchases to users and announced plans to force users to opt-in for in-app ad tracking. This could cut publisher revenue by over 50%. Apple recently delayed the feature until next year.
