Under the incoming pan-EU regulation, fines can scale up to 10% of global annual turnover for gatekeeper non-compliance with the regulation’s up-front obligations. The bloc’s lawmakers agreed the final details of the Digital Markets Act (DMA) in March - cementing a regime that will enforce a set of operational rules on so-called “internet gatekeepers” which look set to shrink Apple’s and Google’s ability to micromanage how business users must operate on their app stores. That’s notable because the Commission itself will in charge of enforcing a new ex ante competition regime against the most powerful tech giants which is due to come into force across the EU later this year. The enforcement tug of war between the ACM and Apple attracted high level attention from the European Commission, with EVP Margrethe Vestager hitting out at Apple for deliberating choosing to pay a fine rather than comply in remarks back in February.
However, according to Reuters, the regulator has decided Apple’s offer still does not comply with its order and it reports being told on Monday that the ACM is preparing a new order with new penalty payments. The fines hit the maximum allowed for by an associated court order by the end of March - €50 million - when the ACM said it was considering a revised offer by Apple. The ACM has been locked in a lengthy battle with iOS maker Apple over its app store payment rules as applied to local dating apps - which led it to order that Apple must allow dating apps to use alternative payment processing services and issue a series of fines as the regulator judged Apple had failed to comply with the order.

In addition, dating apps claim they are no longer allowed to refer to other payment methods either,” the ACM also said in a short press statement. “Dating-app providers allegedly are no longer able to use a payment system other than Google’s payment system. Match Group declined to comment on the substance of its complaint - but the ACM confirmed it has received “a request for enforcement regarding the Google Play Store.” If you are not able to get any mobile data, contact your mobile service provider.A competition complaint against Google’s Android Play Store by Match Group, the company which owns Tinder and a number of other dating apps, has led to a preliminary investigation by the Netherlands’ Authority for Consumers and Markets (ACM) into whether the tech giant is abusing a dominant position, the regulator said today.
