Cybersecurity firm Kaspersky Lab has filed an antitrust complaint against Apple, alleging that the tech giant removed Kaspersky’s ‘safe kids’ app from the Apple Store to make way for its own rival product.

Both apps allow parents to monitor and control their children’s device usage and to restrict inappropriate content.
