EU fines Apple €1.8 billion in Spotify streaming case
Apple has been fined €1.8 billion by the European Union in a case related to its treatment of Spotify and other streaming services.
The European Commission found that Apple had abused its dominant position in the market by imposing unfair terms on music streaming services that compete with its own Apple Music platform.
As a result of the fine, Apple must now change its business practices and ensure a level playing field for all streaming services operating on its platform.
This ruling is seen as a significant victory for Spotify and other competitors in the music streaming industry, as it sets a precedent for fair competition in the digital marketplace.
