Apple’s DMA compliance plan is a trap and a slap in the face for the European Commission | Proton


Apple responds to the EU’s DMA with extortionary fees, scare screens, and general contempt. The European Commission must respond.

As a recap, Apple currently has a number of policies for its App Store that are so abusive that the European Union was compelled to pass a new law, the Digital Market Act (DMA), to rein in some of the worst offenses. So if you decide to take the risk of trying out alternative payments and it ends up working worse for your business, Apple doesn’t allow you to go back and instead traps you permanently. Apple claims it’s giving developers the ability to choose the plan that fits them best — but if you examine them, it’s clear that it’s tilting the benefits towards remaining in the App Store.
