The European Commission has fined Apple and Meta 500 million euros ($568 million) and 200 million euros ($227 million), respectively, for violating the Digital Markets Act (DMA). On top of forcing the tech giants to pay steep fines, the commission's proposed remedies would undermine the firms' business models and their ability to serve consumers.

On April 22, 2025, the European Commission announced its first non-compliance decisions under the Digital Markets Act (“DMA”). In these decisions, the European Commission fined Apple EUR 500 million and Meta EUR 200 million for non-compliance with their obligations under the DMA.

The fine pertains to March 2024, when DMA rules were enacted, through November 2024, when Meta launched a non-compliant ad model.
