Dutch regulators reject Apple's 3rd-party app payment proposal
The Netherlands consumer
watchdog has rejected Apple's proposed App Store changes to allow dating app
developers to use third-party payment systems.
According to the Coalition for App Fairness, Apple's latest
proposal for dating-app providers deemed insufficient by the Dutch Authority
for Consumers and Markets (ACM) order.
"Apple's latest proposal to comply with the Dutch ACM order,
which requires the company to allow dating app developers to select the in-app
or out-of-the-app payment solution of their choice for the apps they offer in
the Dutch Store Front of the App Store, has once again been rejected," the
coalition said in a statement late on Monday.
The Dutch regulator has already charged Apple millions in
fines and the tech giant could face further penalties.
Apple's proposal, which came 10 weeks after it was required to pay
50 million euros in penalty fines, was rejected because it imposed unnecessary
requirements creating friction with the aim to discourage dating app developers
from taking advantage of the ACM order.
