EU Demands Risk Management Details from Apple and Google
Under the new Digital Services Act, tech giants are asked to clarify their app store risk management strategies.
- The EU has asked Apple and Google to provide more details on how they identify risks concerning their respective app stores.
- The request is part of the EU's Digital Services Act (DSA) process, but does not indicate legal violations or a move towards punishment.
- Apple and Google must respond by January 15.
- The DSA is a new law by the EU to regulate big tech, with stricter rules on policing content online and ensuring a safer digital consumer experience.
- If a platform violates the DSA, it risks a fine of up to six percent of global turnover.
