Apple and Meta's Interoperability Tensions

Apple has voiced concerns about Meta's numerous interoperability requests under the EU's Digital Markets Act, which could jeopardize user privacy and security. With 15 requests submitted, Meta seeks extensive access to Apple's software tools, prompting Apple to warn that granting these requests might enable Meta to access sensitive user information. The effectiveness and implications of such requests raise substantial questions about competition and user data protection, leading to a heated exchange between the two companies. Apple's call for privacy as a defense highlights the ongoing rivalry in the tech industry and stresses the importance of security amidst demands for interoperability.
