Welcome to News Discussion's Private Community

- India's antitrust body, the Competition Commission of India (CCI), found Apple exploited its dominant position in the iOS app store market, engaging in abusive practices.
- The CCI's 142-page report, seen by Reuters, highlights Apple's significant influence over digital products and services, forcing developers to use its proprietary billing system.
- Apple denies wrongdoing, citing its small market share in India, where Android dominates, but the CCI report states Apple's App Store is indispensable for developers.
- The investigation, initiated by a non-profit group and supported by Indian startups and Match Group, claims Apple's in-app fees hurt competition and violate Indian laws.
- The CCI's findings come amid global antitrust scrutiny of Apple, with potential fines and directives to change business practices pending a final decision.

Ex-Google Exec Admits Goal Was to Crush Competition

- The European Court of Justice has ruled that Apple must pay €13bn in back taxes to Ireland, overturning a previous lower court decision.
- The ruling confirms that Ireland provided unlawful aid to Apple through a tax deal that resulted in a tax rate of less than 1 percent.
- Apple has criticized the decision, claiming the EU is retroactively changing the rules and that their income was already taxed in the US.
- The case is seen as a significant moment in the EU's efforts to regulate Big Tech's tax arrangements.
- Separately, the EU won an antitrust case against Google, upholding a €2.4bn fine for abusing its market power.
