Happy to be quoted in this @nytimes' article by @trippmickle on @Apple's terrible DMA compliance plan. https://www.nytimes.com/...

Google outlines updates to comply with the EU's DMA: search changes to prioritize large intermediaries and aggregators, new tools for app developers, and more

Alphabet's (GOOGL.O) Google on Tuesday outlined changes to search results and new tools for apps developers to promote their products …

Pleased to be quoted in this great article by Michael Acton in the Financial Times. Apple's implementation of the DMA is entirely defective. https://www.ft.com/...

Source: Meta and Microsoft lobby EU regulators to reject Apple's iOS and App Store changes to comply with the DMA, saying Apple's plans fail to go far enough

Meta and Microsoft want Brussels regulators to extract more concessions that unpick iOS mobile software

It offers app developers the choice between staying under its “existing” App Store terms that do not comply with the DMA and “adopting” new terms that are (i) unattractive and (ii) not even in line with the DMA.

@UGambini ... Bigger significance in my view. Signals the EC is fed up with @Apple's bullshit.

Sources: the EU plans to fine Apple ~€500M in March for allegedly breaking EU law over access to music streaming services, following a 2019 complaint by Spotify

Move is culmination of long-running European Commission antitrust probe after a complaint by Spotify

2023-01-19
In this blog post, I argue that the fact that the DMA is around the corner is no excuse for the @EU_Commission Commission to not move forward in its @Apple music streaming investigation. The SO was issued two years ago. It's time to deliver now! https://theplatformlaw.blog/ ...

Spotify, Deezer, Proton, and others write to Margrethe Vestager, demanding the European Commission take action against Apple's “unfair practices”, like IAP fees

Apple plans to charge dating app developers using alternative payment systems a 27% commission in The Netherlands, instead of its usual 30% for in-app purchases

by far — is how disingenuous they are. Time and time again I'm made to wonder which of their core principles are important, and which are just PR. And how fluid the distinction is....

@Apple's statement is NOT compliant with the @AutoriteitCM's order mandating them to allow dating app developers to use their own in-app payment solutions or off-app payment solutions. The @AutoriteitCM will have no choice but to fine @Apple again. https://developer.apple.com/ ...

The Netherlands fines Apple €5M, saying Apple's IAP changes “failed to satisfy the requirements”; the fine rises €5M/week to €50M until Apple complies

(ii) Indeed, @Apple statement whereby it would comply with the ACM order is not only vague, but it aims to discourage app developers from taking advantage of their rights by imposing onerous conditions on them. https://developer.apple.com/ ...

(4) As Apple controls the (opaque) App Review process, it can for instance make the life of app developers seeking to take advantage of the ACM decision miserable. The @AutoriteitCM should pay attention to the risk of retaliation.
