SpotPay sues Apple because of its taxes and monopoly

SPOTIVAY has filed an antitrust lawsuit with the European Union, accusing Apple of negatively affecting users' options and limiting creativity and innovation through restrictions and laws imposed by its App Store, including 30% of its subscriptions.

Sputivay believes that Apple's tax rate is a tax and that it is negatively impacted when it competes with Apple's own music service. As a result of paying 30%, he will have to raise his subscription rate by the same percentage and thus be more expensive than Apple's music service.

SPOTIVAY complains about the fact that Apple, tightened and repeatedly prevented, constantly improve the user experience with other services and tools provided by Apple on the Internet. IPhone, such as Siri Assistant or other Apple devices, such as Smart Clock and HomePod.

This is the first formal EU call against the Apple App Store, which has long been the subject of complaints from companies that reduce by 30% the revenue generated by applications.

Due to similar problems, Google was fined 2.4 billion euros and 4.3 billion euros in the case of the monopoly of Android, known for their sensitivity to the problems of monopoly and the fair competition.
