Apple and Meta furious at EU over fines totaling €700 million

The European Commission fined Apple €500 million and Meta €200 million for breaching the Digital Markets Act (DMA), citing violations like Apple's anti-steering obligation and Meta's failure to offer choice between privacy-friendly services. Both companies are required to comply by 60 days or face ongoing penalties, though neither has yet to act on the decision. Apple called the fines unfair, saying they were forced without user consent, while Meta accused the EC of unfair restrictions on personalized advertising.
