The European Commission has executed its first sanctions under the Digital Markets Act, imposing significant fines on Apple and Meta for noncompliance. Apple received a €500 million penalty for enforcing limitations on app developers regarding informing customers about cheaper alternatives outside the App Store. Meanwhile, Meta was fined €200 million for their 'Consent or Pay' model, which failed to adequately request user consent for data combination across services like Facebook and Instagram. These actions underscore the EC's vigorous enforcement of tech regulations.
