TECH CRUNCH - Match Group is undecided about adopting Apple's new Digital Markets Act (DMA) rules in the EU, which allow for alternative app stores and third-party payments. During their Q4 2023 earnings call, CEO Gary Swidler expressed uncertainty about how the new regulations would affect their business, similar to concerns raised by Spotify and Microsoft. Apple's compliance with the DMA involves a new commission structure, including a "Core Technology Fee" for those opting in. Critics argue that these rules may not offer the expected benefits in an open app market. However, the European Commission has yet to accept Apple's proposal, leaving room for changes.
