The European Commission has reached compromises with Meta and Apple on Digital Markets Act (DMA) enforcement, allowing alternative subscription models, but these deals lack transparency and exclude third-party input, raising concerns about accountability and the legal interpretation of consent under DMA and GDPR.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Fintech.

◆ The Wire takeaway

You face new regulatory uncertainty as the European Commission settles DMA enforcement quietly without third-party input. This lets dominant platforms shape compliance, pushing you to argue for clearer rules or seek alternatives to dependency on these gatekeepers.
