The European Union's Digital Services Act (DSA), effective from February 17, 2024, incited a major compliance campaign among app developers. Apple is enforcing its provisions by requiring developers to submit their 'trader status' or face app removals, leading to the removal of over 135,000 apps recently. The act aims to enhance consumer protection in the digital space, marking a significant regulatory effort targeting online platforms. Developers must provide specific identification information to avoid app removals, highlighting a critical shift in app distribution regulations within the EU.
Over 135,000 apps have been removed from App Stores across EU member states due to non-compliance with the Digital Services Act's trader status requirements.
The DSA seeks to protect consumers by imposing rules that require app developers in the EU to disclose their trader status before distribution.
