The European Commission's enforcement of the Digital Markets Act against Apple is seen as a detrimental action that threatens competition, consumer interests, and overall business health. Critics argue it compromises data security by forcing Apple to share information that could be exploited by competitors, reminiscent of past privacy scandals. While the EC claims this will foster innovation by enhancing interoperability and access for developers, the legal obligations may lead to increased costs and slower feature development, ultimately harming consumers and businesses alike.
With the latest Digital Markets Act action against Apple, the European Commission proves it is bad for competition, bad for consumers, and bad for business.
The information Apple is being forced to make available to competitors with cynical interest in data exfiltration will threaten regional democracy, opening doors to new Cambridge Analytica scandals.
Developers will gain improved access to technical documentation on features not yet available to third parties, timely communication, and updates, creating obligation and costs for Apple.
The requirement for Apple to develop new features compatible with competitive systems at no cost will raise development costs and slow the introduction of new features in the EU.
