Apple's App Store rules are still in violation of EU policy

The European Commission fined Apple €500 million for allegedly violating the Digital Markets Act by introducing anti-competitive policies that hindered developers. The fine stems from a 68-page document detailing "anti-steering" rules, including 'scare sheets,' which warned users about privacy issues on external websites. Apple denied these claims and criticized the decision as harmful to innovation, competition, and user privacy, stating it will appeal the decision by June 22.
