The European Union (EU) is preparing to charge Apple and Meta Platforms for allegedly violating regulations aimed at curbing their dominance in the digital market. Initiated under the Digital Markets Act (DMA) in March, investigations prioritize issues like user mobility and fair competition across platforms. Preliminary findings, expected before August, may lead to penalties of up to 10% of global revenue. Apple faces scrutiny over app store practices and new developer fees, while Meta’s ad-free subscription model on Facebook and Instagram is under review.
