Izinto ziba nzima ku-Apple eYurophu nge-DMA (Digital Market Act), Umthethonqubo ohlose ukuqeda imisebenzi yokubusa noma ukuhlukumeza isikhundla esiphezulu, futhi ilungiselela ukuhlukumeza okusemthethweni ukuze ivikele izintshisekelo zayo.
Isimo sengqondo sokulawula se-European Union asinamkhawulo, ikakhulukazi ngaphakathi komkhakha wezobuchwepheshe (singathanda ukuthi kube kanje nakweminye imikhakha), futhi isinyathelo esilandelayo yi-DMA (Digital Market Act), uchungechunge lwemithethonqubo egxilile. ezinkundleni zokuxhumana ezifana ne-Apple, i-Google noma i-Amazon azikwazi ukusebenzisa kabi isikhundla sazo sokubusa emakethe futhi zivumele ukuncintisana okufanelekile nezinye izinkampani ezingenamandla kangako. Ngaphakathi kwale mithethonqubo i-DMA Izinjongo zayo eziyinhloko ukuqeda ukubusa kwe-App Store kanye nokuhluka kwe-iMessage.
Ngakolunye uhlangothi sine-iMessage, isevisi yemiyalezo yakwa-Apple ekhethelwe amadivayisi anezinhlelo zayo zokusebenza. I-Google ifuna ukuthi i-Apple ivule le nkundla yokuthumela imiyalezo kuwo wonke umuntu, futhi lo mthethonqubo wase-Europe usuze wasiza ukufeza umgomo wawo. EYurophu iMessage ayibalulekile kangako, kodwa e-United States iqiniso lokuthi I-Apple yokuba “namabhaluni aluhlaza” lapho ukhuluma nabasebenzisi be-Apple, futhi “amabhaluni aluhlaza” lapho ukhuluma nabasebenzisi be-Android cishe kuyindaba yentshisekelo yomphakathi., ngoba intsha eningi ibona “amabhaluni aluhlaza” njengento ephansi. Kodwa-ke, umthethonqubo ungowaseYurophu kuphela, imakethe lapho i-Apple ingabusanga futhi inkampani izosekela ukuzivikela kwayo kuleyo mininingwane.
Kunzima kakhulu nge-App Store. I-European Union ifuna ukuvumela ukufakwa kwezinhlelo zokusebenza ngaphandle kwesitolo sezinhlelo zokusebenza ze-Apple, futhi kucatshangwa ukuthi i-Apple kuzofanele ikuvumele, into engenzeka engxenyeni yokuqala ka-2024. Kodwa-ke, inkampani ifuna ukucaciswa ukuthi yiziphi izici ze-App Store okufanele zilawulwe nokuthi kanjani.. I-Apple ingavumela ukulayishwa kwezinhlelo zokusebenza ngaphandle kwesitolo sayo kodwa idinga ukuthi abathuthukisi babe nesitifiketi ukuze bakwazi ukwenza kanjalo, isitifiketi i-Apple ngokwayo esingasinikeza labo abahlangabezana nezidingo zayo, ngezaba zokuphepha kwemishini yabasebenzisi bayo. . .
