The European Commission EC has backed up its initial assessment that Apples socalled antisteering rules, which forbid developers from alerting customers about different payment methods, amount to unfair commercial practises. A further antitrust claim against the tech giant regarding the way Apple forces third parties to use its own inapp purchase IAP payment system has also been abandoned. For the purposes of this antitrust investigation, the EC makes clear in its Statement of Objections that it does not take a position on the legality of the IAP obligation. Instead, the EC concentrates on the contractual restrictions Apple placed on app developers, which prevent them from informing iPhone and iPad users of alternative music subscription options at lower prices outside of the app and from making an informed decision.

Jumias terms are reviewed by an African watchdog in an effort to protect customers.

After being compelled by the COMESA Competition Commission to review provisions and disclaimers it found misleading or incorrect, Jumia revised its terms and conditions. The Commission discovered that Jumia had excused itself from being a party to the sale agreement in order to avoid accountability for goods sold by independent merchants on its platform. Jumia will be held accountable for the goods and transactions made on its platform because it is responsible for taking orders, processing payments, and delivering goods on behalf of the seller. Jumia must now make it apparent when it is the seller, change the terms to reflect its responsibility for the goods sold, and make a sale agreement between the seller and the customer accessible.
