Dutch regulators again imposed fines on Apple totaling 15 million euros
Dutch antitrust regulators again fined Apple 5 million euros ($5.71 million) on Monday for failing to comply with an order to open its app store in the Netherlands to provide a third-party payment system for dating apps. The latest fine brings the total amount of fines imposed on the company by the Dutch Consumer and Market Authority (ACM) to 15 million euros.
The Dutch Consumer and Market Authority has previously issued an order requiring the Apple App Store to open third-party payments to all dating apps, meaning that dating app developers will be able to bypass the commissions drawn by the Apple Store. ACM requires Apple to comply with the order by January 15, 2022, and if it is not opened, it will pay a fine of 5 million euros per week, up to a maximum of 50 million euros.
China data in Tesla's annual report: the biggest contributor to the increase in profit margins Sales have doubled year after year
Tesla, the global electric vehicle leader, recently submitted a 10-K form to the US SEC, explaining the company's business details in 2021, which naturally has a lot of space to mention the Chinese market and the Shanghai Gigafactory.
According to the search, Tesla mentioned "China" a total of 45 times in this annual report, second only to the base of the United States, and the number of mentions of "Shanghai Gigafactory" reached 34 times, almost double that of the Fremont Gigafactory in California, which is enough to show the importance of China's manufacturing center to the global electric vehicle leader.
According to Tesla's annual report, Sales in China reached $13.844 billion in 2021, double the $6.662 billion in 2020, after sales of $2.979 billion in 2019. The electric vehicle giant's revenue in the United States last year reached $23.973 billion, up 57.64% year-on-year.
