The European Commission has imposed fines totaling â¬700 million on Apple and Meta for violating the Digital Markets Act, marking a significant enforcement action. Apple received a penalty of â¬500 million, while Meta was fined â¬200 million. These fines are a result of a year-long investigation that found Meta was requiring users to either pay to avoid ads or consent to personal data usage. Apple was penalized for not allowing users to direct customers to alternative purchase methods. Non-compliance could incur daily fines for Apple.
Following an extensive year-long investigation, the European Commission has levied significant penalties against Apple and Meta under the Digital Markets Act, totaling almost $1 billion.
The fines, which amount to â¬700 million, reflect the Commission's effort to ensure compliance with the Digital Markets Act, particularly regarding user data and ad practices.
