23 Apr. Millions in fines against US tech giants: EU sends a clear signal against Apple & Meta
🚨 EU sends a clear signal against Apple & Meta
For the first time, the EU Commission is cracking down with the Digital Markets Act (DMA):
- Apple: 500 million euro fine for restrictions in alternative app stores
- Meta: 200 million euros fine for the "pay or applaud" model on Facebook & Instagram
Both infringements restrict competition and the freedom of users - key points that the DMA protects.
The message: even big tech is not above the law. The digital single market needs clear rules - and consistent law enforcement.
For more fairness, transparency and digital sovereignty in Europe.
Time to start working on European alternatives!
