Apple Given Fourth Dutch Fine In App Store Dispute

Apple Given Fourth Dutch Fine In App Store Dispute

AMSTERDAM (Reuters) – The Dutch antitrust watchdog fined Apple 5 million euros ($5.7 million) on Monday, its fourth such fine for failing to allow software application makers in the Netherlands to use non-Apple payment methods for dating apps on the App Store.

The Authority for Consumers and Markets (ACM) has been levying weekly fines of 5 million euros on Apple since the company missed a Jan. 15 deadline to make changes ordered by the watchdog.
