Deep dives
EU Investigates Apple and Meta for Antitrust Violations
The European Commission has found Apple and Meta in violation of the Digital Markets Act (DMA), which is designed to prevent anti-competitive practices by major tech companies. Apple has been penalized for its anti-steering rules, which restrict developers from promoting alternative payment methods outside of Apple's ecosystem. The company is facing a fine of 500 million euros, although this represents less than 0.1% of its annual revenue. Meanwhile, Meta has been fined 200 million euros for offering a subscription model that did not meet the EU's requirements for providing users an equivalent free service option.
