- Apple faces a 1/10 EU fine for its global turnover
According to media reports, the EU antitrust regulator recently announced that Apple's App Store rules violated the Digital Markets Act, and preliminarily determined that it constituted monopolistic behavior.
Apple's violation was mainly due to App Store rules that prevent app developers from directing consumers to alternative products, restricting the free communication and contract signing between developers and users.
Antitrust Commissioner Margaret Westeger pointed out that the new terms of the App Store restrict the free communication between developers and users, and Apple only allows redirects to web pages through links to enter into contracts.
Apple could face a hefty fine of up to 10% of its annual global turnover if ultimately found to have violated the Digital Markets Act, with the European Commission expected to announce a final decision by March next year. (Source: Fast Technology)
