Meta and Microsoft ask EU to reject Apple's new app store terms
Apple’s new app store terms have come under fire for what many are describing as ‘malicious compliance’ with the EU’s...

Sounds like a civil matter, Deal with your own problems and sue them like you would anyone else.
It's lobbying but they're right. It's not just their problem but consumers problem too. I hope EU handles this so that intent of the law prevails.
Exactly, Apples iron grip needs to be loosened
The DMA does not protect consumers. It protects other companies that sell products within the gatekeeper's market.
Both Meta and Microsoft have apps on iPhone and therefore the DMA is designed to protect those two companies. If they're not happy with the level of protection, they should absolutely tell the EU.
DSA and DMA limit the way big players can abuse their dominant positions. They let smaller companies get a foothold in fortresses of tech giants. They enforce interoperability. Consumers benefit from those in plenty of ways.
It’s 100% not a consumer problem. No one cares what store they buy apps from just that the apps are vetted. Thats all Apple cared about. They don’t want total freedom to side load.
This is corporate greed. But it’s cute you think they are gunning for the consumer lol.
It's not a civil matter. The Digital Markets Act requires the EU to monitor competition and that means they will rely on input from other competitors in the same space. The DMA gives the EU powers that no private company has including the ability to issue specific directives to individual companies.
Those directives could range from "remove this clause from you app store contract" to "stop selling phones in Europe". No civil court case is ever going to have an outcome like that.
