US lawmakers want the DOJ to investigate Apple
Several US lawmakers have written to Justice Department seeking an investigation into Apple’s attempts to disable messaging app Beeper Mini. Beeper Mini has been trying to provide an iMessage-compatible Android app, however, Apple has also been trying to disable it. The lawmakers have also asked DOJ to investigate Apple for “potentially anticompetitive conduct”.

Beeper’s CEO David O’Reilly has said that the Beeper Cloud, Beeper Mini’s security measures and his team’s ideas left for Beeper Mini are signs that Apple can’t keep it out forever. “I hope that the court of public opinion will convince Apple to play nice,” O’Reilly said. “I hope the court of public opinion will eventually convince Apple to play nice,” he added.
