Dutch fine Apple again

Apparently “saying you have complied” with an anti-trust order is not enough

Fruity Cargo Cult Apple has been fined by the Dutch for failing to meet a demand to allow local dating apps to have the option to use third party payment tech to sell digital content to their app users.

A few days ago Apple said it had complied with the order and dating app developers wishing to take up the entitlement need only make “a minor technical change.”

However, in a statement today, the Dutch Authority for Consumers & Market (ACM) said it has levied a sixth fine (of €5M) against the tech giant for non-compliance with an order first issued last year.

The iPhone maker is now facing a €30 million penalty over the issue, as the penalty has increased again by another €5M since last Monday — with the prospect of further €5M increases in the coming weeks if it continues to stonewall the regulator (up to a €50M potential maximum).
