God, I hate posting a Reddit comment, but this is huge. Every claim is sourced (I have not verified personally).

Edit: Well, Reddit does what reddit does, it's been removed. Here is a github link: https://github.com/upper-up/meta-lobbying-and-other-findings

Does the Court ask you?
Does the legislature?
Does Meta come to ask what you call an "App Store"?

    The legislation clearly states what is and is not an app store. I'd recommend you mull it over.

    (3) APP.—The term “app” means a software application or electronic service that may be run or directed by a user on a computer, mobile device, or any other general purpose computing device.

    (4) APP STORE.—The term “app store” means a publicly available website, software application, or other electronic service that distributes and facilitates the download of an app from a third-party developer by a user of a computer, mobile device, or any other general purpose computing device.

    100% sure they all come in the category of an "App Store" when convenient for the lobbyist.
