1 days ago
The European Commission fined Meta €200 million and Apple €500 million for breaching data consent regulations and anti-steering obligations under the Digital Markets Act. Meta's 'Consent or Pay' model did not provide users a compliant choice for less personalized services, and Apple restricted app developers from informing users about alternatives outside its App Store. Both companies must comply within 60 days or face penalties.
