Summary: The European Union has announced that it would delay the punishment against Apple and Meta as it pushes for the trade deal with both American companies, fined for various offenses last year, and the punishment was going to be implemented soon.
Right now, things between the European Union and some large American brands are very stressful. The European Union's safety and data privacy are concerned, as far as the European Union is large keeping in mind the large technology. It has imposed some very heavy fines against companies like Google, Apple and Meta. Last year, the European Union fined both meta and apple for various shady practices.
In the case of Apple, the company was forcing each company to create an app for the app store to use Apple's payment system. It has so far gone to block other companies by advertising a third-party payment system.
For meta, the company accused users of getting rid of advertisements. This happened when the company was forced to prevent the data of the European Union citizens from scooping for targeted advertisements.
European Union prevents punishment on apples and meta
Both these crimes acquired some heavy fines to the companies. The European Union was preparing to conflict and issue desired orders for both Apple and Meta. However, according to a report, some MPs in the European Parliament realized that this step could be more political than moral. For example, the European Union has postponed its decision. How long we do not know.
What do we know that the European Union wants to track a business deal rapidly with the US President Donald Trump, a 90 -day stop in the tariff, so things are still very high in the air.
The European Union Trade Commissioner Maroš šefčovič recently met with Trump to talk about the situation. Right now, we do not know how much progress was made with talks. An EC spokesperson said, “Currently we are working on adopting final decisions in the short term.“So, only time will tell what will happen to these companies.
