France recommends to stop using Google Analytics

New EU regulations require personal data storage to be located within Europe. That might make some of the services illegal without infrastructure changes.

Google Analytics is one of the services that might be targeted by these regulations. Mobile apps using this platform might consider looking for replacements.

Authority for Consumers and Markets of Netherlands did not approve Apple’s approach for dating apps external payments support

ACM did not approve Apple's proposal on support of external payment methods for dating apps. ACM now fines Apple €5m a week, with total fine of €50m.

Apple must adjust its conditions for access to the Dutch App Store for dating-app providers. In the App Store, dating-app providers must also be able to use payment systems other than Apple’s payment system. In addition, dating-app providers must have the ability to refer to payment systems outside of the app. This had been laid down in an order subject to periodic penalty payments that ACM imposed on Apple in August 2021. On December 24, 2021, the court ruled that this part of the order could be published.

It is not clear what conditions are to be changed, so more communication from Apple is expected soon.
