Apple Inc. was fined an extra 5 million euros ($5.6 million) by Dutch antitrust regulators over an order to open up app payments for dating services.
Apple’s new terms for payments for dating apps are “unreasonable and create an additional barrier,” the Authority for Consumers & Markets said on Monday. The iphone maker “still does not meet the requirements” of the antitrust authority, the ACM said.
