EU Fines Apple and Meta $800 Million for Violating Antitrust Law
----------------------------------------------------------------

The European Union fined Apple and Meta $800 million for violating the
Digital Markets Act, a new law designed to prevent anti-competitive
practices by Big Tech. Meta is accused of forcing users to either pay
for Facebook and Instagram subscriptions or to make their personal data
available to advertisers. Trump has threatened to retaliate against
European regulations on U.S. tech companies.
