The European Commission also drew Apples attention to its previous conclusion that its contractual terms for the use of alternative applications infringed the DMA.The European Commission also decided that the Meta Facebook Marketplace brokerage service should no longer be part of the DMA.During a press briefing in Brussels, European Commission spokesperson Arianna Podesta denied press speculation that these fines on Apple and Meta were in any way related to the tariff confrontation between the EU and the US, and stressed that both decisions are solely of an executive nature in compliance with the DMA.
