The European Commission’s Digital Markets Act seeks to prevent tech giants from cornering digital markets.
European Union regulators have accused Apple of breaking new rules on digital competition by preventing software developers on its App Store from steering users to other venues.
The commission, the bloc’s executive arm, said Apple’s rules for its App Store “prevent app developers from freely steering consumers to alternative channels for offers and content”. Regulators zeroed in on a “core technology fee” of 50 euro cents that Apple is now charging developers for each time their apps are downloaded and installed from outside Apple’s App Store.
