🍏 According to sources, the American company Apple will be fined and required to review its rules regarding the App Store due to antitrust issues.
💻 Tech giant Meta Platforms will be fined and required to change its “concern or pay” practice.
🔍 It is noted that EU regulators will also close another investigation against Apple regarding the design of the web browser selection screen without any sanctions.
💰 Under the DMA, companies could face fines of up to 10% of their annual global revenue, which would lead to significant penalties for both tech giants.
🇺🇸 However, the EU will try to avoid further tensions with the U.S., given that Trump has previously criticized EU fines, even calling them “extortion abroad.”
