The Computer & Communications Industry Association (CCIA), along with NetChoice, has submitted an amicus brief to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. This action supports Apple's request to delay a court order issued in the case of Epic Games v. Apple while seeking appellate review. The brief highlights concerns regarding First Amendment rights related to the order, which mandates Apple to present links and descriptions for In-App Purchases in a specific manner.

Stephanie Joyce, CCIA Senior Vice President, Chief of Staff, and Director of CCIA Litigation Center, commented on the matter: "A court order forcing a party to speak in a prescribed way is just as problematic under the First Amendment as a law passed by a legislative body. The injunction against Apple contains restrictions on speech that deserve the most stringent review. Until that review is complete, Apple should remain free to speak of its own products and services as it chooses."
