News Summary

Apple has enforced the Digital Services Act (DSA) requirements by removing apps from the EU App Store that failed to provide necessary contact information. The new regulation demands app developers to disclose their address, phone, and email to consumers. As a result, approximately 135,000 apps have been affected, particularly impacting smaller and indie developers who often work from home. Developers must now register addresses and phone numbers, sometimes resorting to third-party services to maintain privacy. This move aims to ensure transparency and accountability for apps generating revenue in the EU market.
