Epic Games CEO blasts Apple for ‘malicious compliance’ with EU Digital Markets Act
With the ink barely dry on Apple's statement on the EU Digital Markets Act, Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney blasted Apple for "malicious compliance."
That’s why Apple said it is introducing protections — including Notarization for iOS apps, an authorization for marketplace developers, and disclosures on alternative payments — to reduce risks and deliver the best, most secure experience possible for users in the EU. Rick VanMeter, executive director of the Coalition for App Fairness(CAF), released a statement after Apple announced the details of their proposed compliance plan ahead of the Digital Markets Act (DMA) implementation deadline on March 7, 2024. Originally formed by Basecamp, Blix, Blockchain.com, Deezer, Epic Games, the European Publishers Council, Match Group, News Media Europe, Prepear, Proton, Skydemon, Spotify, and Tile, CAF has grown from 13 to over 70 members since launching in September 2020.
