Apple has initiated a legal challenge against an EU directive requiring it to open its closed ecosystem to competitors like Meta and Alphabet’s Google, claiming the demands are excessive and hinder innovation. In March, the European Commission specified Apple’s compliance requirements under the Digital Markets Act. Reuters:
Trump administration has been warning the EU against excessive regulation of American technology firms. On February 21st, President Trump issued a directive, “Defending American Companies and Innovators From Overseas Extortion and Unfair Fines and Penalties,” threatening to impose tariffs on Europe to combat what he called “overseas extortion” of American tech companies through digital services taxes, fines, practices, and policies.
