Apple and Meta Are First to Be Hit by E.U. Digital Competition Law

> Apple violated the Digital Markets Act by restricting how app developers could communicate with customers about sales and other offers, according to the European Commission, the executive branch of the 27-nation bloc.

> Meta broke the law by imposing a “consent or pay” system that forces users to either allow their personal data to be used to target advertisements, or pay a subscription fee for advertising-free versions of Facebook and Instagram.

It will be interesting what their responses will be, but I guess they will appeal it to try to postpone the inevitable. I guess they hope Trump will make some kind of deal with EU?
