Now Facebook is also getting involved in the dispute over the charges to Google and Apple. And denounces the fee model at Apple.
Epic took on Google and Apple. The developers no longer like the payment model for the stores of the two giants. In response, Fortnite was of two from the respective store banished.
Facebook has now introduced a new function in which paid streaming events and online courses can be offered. The entire proceeds without paying fees go to the organizers.
Except for purchases via iPad or iPhone, because Apple does not want to do without the mandatory 30 percent here. Facebook had asked Apple to do without it.
Facebook:
“We asked Apple to reduce the app store tax by 30 percent or to let us use Facebook Pay so that we can relieve the businesses that are struggling with the Covid-19 pandemic. Unfortunately, they refused both requests and the small and medium-sized businesses will only get 70 percent of their hard-earned revenues. “
With Facebook, a heavyweight is now opposing Apple’s fee model. And will probably not be the last either.
