EU Takes Aim At Apple In Landmark Antitrust Cases
The EU’s powerful competition authority opened a series of cases against Apple on Tuesday, in a sign that Brussels was not backing down in its efforts to rein in US-based tech giants.
In the EU’s first case, the European Commission followed a complaint brought by Sweden-based Spotify and others that accused Apple of making unfair use of its app store to promote its own Apple Music. “It appears that Apple obtained a ‘gatekeeper’ role when it comes to the distribution of apps and content to users of Apple’s popular devices,” said EU Executive Vice President Margrethe Vestager in a statement.
But the commission said it would pursue the case “as a matter of priority” amid complaints that the EU moves too slowly in clamping down on the fast-changing tech business.
