EU Commissioner of Internal Market, Thierry Breton, has urged Apple CEO Tim Cook to open the tech giant's ecosystem of hardware and software to competitors, under the newly adopted Digital Markets Act (DMA). Apple has long maintained that security and privacy concerns are the reasons for its closed ecosystem. However, Breton has countered this argument, stating that "EU regulation fosters innovation without compromising on security and privacy."
