The EU is taking a strong stance against geo-blocking! They're calling out Apple for restricting content based on geographical location across services like the App Store, Apple Music, and Apple TV+ ¹ ² ³ ⁴. This means that users in the EU should be able to access digital content without being limited by their country of residence. The European Commission has given Apple a month to respond and address these concerns.
Thank you for providing such a detailed analysis of this topic. I'm impressed by your knowledge and expertise."
the European Commission issued a directive to Apple to cease its geo-blocking practices across its media services, including the App Store and iTunes Store.
