The UK is looking to implement measures to boost local app developers and maintain a high-quality experience for consumers. Google and Apple oppose these changes, citing potential security risks and delays in product launches. Apple warns that the proposed regulations might compromise user privacy and force them to share technology with competitors. The UK's approach is framed as more tailored and iterative compared to the EU's broader Digital Markets Act, which has already resulted in direct actions against major tech companies like Google.
The targeted and proportionate actions we have set out today would enable UK app developers to remain at the forefront of global innovation while ensuring UK consumers receive a world-class experience.
Google and Apple oppose the outlined changes, arguing they could threaten user security and delay the launch of new products and services in the UK.
We're concerned the rules the UK is now considering would undermine the privacy and security protections that our users have come to expect, hamper our ability to innovate, and force us to give away our technology for free to foreign competitors.
The CMA said it was taking a different approach to the EU by being more 'tailored' and iterative than the DMA's blanket rules.
