[Margrethe Vestager @vestager]

Today we open a new case + we adopt preliminary findings against @Apple under the DMA.

👉We are concerned Apple's new business model makes it too hard for app developers to operate as alternative marketplaces & reach their end users on iOS.

Last week, the Commission held workshops with the big tech firms to discuss their DMA compliance plans.

The Commission clearly is not happy with those discussions because it is now launching a major legal offensive.

What does this mean for these firms and their consumers?

[Margrethe Vestager @vestager]

Today we open 1st #investigations under the #DMA.

We are concerned #Alphabet, @Apple & @Meta are not meeting their obligations e.g:

👉#Apple & #Alphabet still charge recurring fees to #app #developers
👉#Meta offers no real choice for users to opt out of #data combination

@jente Vergelijkbare laten plaatsen voor 17k een jaar of 3 geleden. Materiaal prijzen zijn sindsdien wel 30% gestegen. Dus 24k, inclusief plaatsing klinkt helaas best realistisch
