Brazil's antitrust regulator is set to fine Apple if in-app purchase restrictions aren't lifted

Apple has only 20 days to open up in-app purchases, or it could face $43k in fines per day if it fails to comply with the Brazil antitrust regulator's ruling.

According to a report from Reuters, CADE has ruled that Apple must lift restrictions on in-app payment methods and steering customers to external websites. "Brazil joins a long list of brave jurisdictions eager to reform app store practices to the benefit of consumers and developers. CADE's decision reflects a growing global consensus that essential government intervention can create fair and competitive digital marketplaces."
