The EU’s Share of Apple’s Global Revenue

The DMA allows the EC to penalize “gatekeepers” with fines that are vastly disproportionate to the amount of revenue they generate in EU member states.

@daringfireball @gruber what happens to all this money? I mean starting with the 2 billion but any other fine. I know it will be held during the appeal but if the EU keeps it? Any guess?

@cavazos Kara Swisher asked Vestager about that on her podcast last week: once paid (there's a big “if" there), it gets distributed to EU member states to do with what they please. Presumably by population?

@gruber I guess like the DMA, at least that’s the spirit of it. Thanks, I'll listen to it.
