Apple’s plan to allow alternative payment platforms for Dutch dating apps is reportedly rejected
Apple continues to be hit weekly with a 5 million euro fine for failing to follow the orders of a Dutch watchdog agency
The ACM begged to differ responding that Apple’s plan created an unnecessary barrier. Back in 2019, the watchdog agency started an investigation to determine whether Apple was abusing its dominant market position. That investigation was later reduced in scope to cover dating apps only, including Tinder.
If the DMA does become law in the EU, Apple will also have to allow alternative payment platforms to collect in-app payments in the App Stores found in member countries. EU’s antitrust chief, Margrethe Vestager says that the Act could become law as soon as this coming October, or it could take until 2023 to pass.
