Two years ago, the ACM forced Apple to reduce its commission – by three whole percentage points, but only for makers of dating apps in the Netherlands.
It also required Apple to drop its anti-steering provision that forbids developers of dating apps from informing users about third-party payment options.
Back on August 24th, 2021, the ACM ruled that the conditions Apple imposed on dating app providers were unreasonable and represented an abuse of the company’s dominant position.
At the time of the 2021 ACM decision Apple filed objections and sought an injunction to block the regulator’s requirements and fines for non-compliance.
By December 2021, the Rotterdam District Court mostly rejected Apple’s request and the ACM began assessing periodic fines of €5m ($5.5m) per week, up to a maximum of €50m.
In early October, the ACM disclosed that it had determined on July 13 that Apple’s objections from 2021 are unwarranted and confirmed the required penalty payments.
