Apple has formally appealed against the EU's Digital Markets Act, arguing that its interoperability requirements raise significant privacy issues for users. The company faces a hefty fine of $570 million if it remains non-compliant. In its appeal, Apple warns that the Act could enable third-party companies to exploit sensitive user data, with notable requests coming from firms like Meta. Apple contends that the EU's regulations impose hefty, stifling costs, and claims difficulties in engaging with EU regulators for a resolution.
