Today, CAF and 17 allies called out the @EU_Commission. Apple's new App Store terms fail to resolve its non-compliance. The DMA requires steering to be free of charge. 15% is not zero. The Commission is turning enforcement into compromise.

Apple’s new terms defeat the purpose of the DMA by keeping fees high and blocking true competition. The EC's acceptance would be a profound failure and missed opportunity to deliver on the law's promise of fair and open digital markets. We urge regulators to reconsider. #DMA

Apple blaming its global services revenue declines on a U.S. court decision is a ruse to scare governments away from enforcing laws designed to address its anticompetitive App Store practices. Strong enforcement will enable an open mobile ecosystem so consumers benefit from having more choices, lower costs and the ability to do business directly with developers.

Today Aptiode became the first rival app marketplace to launch in the U.S. @Google Play store, proving what should have been obvious: competition & security can coexist.
But it isn’t enough & @apple users are still left out in the cold. Congress should pass the Senate's Open App Markets Act (#oama) & the House App Store Freedom Act (#asfa) to establish clear national rules, expand consumer choice, lower costs, & give developers a fair chance to compete.

The EC confirmed Google cannot block developers from steering customers outside apps to make purchases, violating the DMA. It found Apple also violated the law & failed to enforce its decision. It’s time to enforce the law & open up the mobile app ecosystem to competition.
The EU handed Alphabet’s Google an overall $1.02 billion fine, saying the search-engine giant had favored its own services over rivals’ on.wsj.com/3Tkfwes

💰Apple and Google are gatekeepers. When security fails, consumers pay. @RepKatCammack said today: "That isn't security – that is captivity." Pass the App Store Freedom Act to break this duopoly & restore competition.🔗Read how to save Americans $9B/yr: tinyurl.com/4b84h6jm

🚨 Apple/Google app store dominance crushes competition and taxes consumers. They control 99%+ of U.S. devices. As @RepLoriTrahan said, it’s a duopoly. Congress must pass the App Store Freedom Act to restore choice.

The terms Apple announced today following CADE's investigation don’t create an open and competitive app ecosystem in Brazil. Developers who choose to distribute their apps through alternative stores or offer payments outside of the App Store are penalized for doing so with high fees and overbearing tracking requirements. The policy continues to guarantee Apple an unfair advantage and prevents innovation in app stores with a significant new tax on commerce.

What happens when Apple is asked to play by the rules? They take their ball and go home. Apple is refusing to release Siri AI in the EU, punishing consumers and trying to pressure regulators who are enforcing the #DMA and holding Apple accountable. appleinsider.com/articles/26…

Apple's claims here are grossly misleading. The $1.4 trillion figure includes $1.1 trillion in what the company calls physical goods. Apple essentially wants a gold star for not taxing your Uber rides, DoorDash orders, and airplane tickets.

Strip away the spin and the truth is simple: Apple refuses to allow competition, and its monopoly profits continue to soar. That's not generosity. It's a gatekeeper counting the gate's receipts and calling it a gift.
