Opera: new DMA rules a chance "to put pressure" on Apple to open up for all
Summary
On January 25th, 2024, the Big Tech giant revealed changes to its App Store and business model given new requirements under the Digital Market Act (DMA) due to come into force in March. He went on to explain that while distribution is a major factor for other developers, the fact that Opera browser is a free service means that it wont be affected as much by new fees and payment requirements. Despite this burden, Bolin expects Apples changes to make it easier for the team to implement the same level of features across Operas range of apps. Outside the EU, both the UK and the US are voting on legislation that echoes the DMAs effort to ensure fair competition within the tech market and protect peoples digital rights. Bolin hopes that new DMA requirements in the EU could then be only the first step "to put pressure" on the big tech giant to open up its ecosystem for all.
