Facebook also joins in the 30% campaign against Apple

Facebook criticizes Apple

Yet another company joins the criticism against the commission that Apple charges developers through its sales in the App Store. It is not just another company. This is the all powerful Facebook. Until now, he had not spoken out about the controversy that arose with Telegram or Epic Games, but the argument put forward by Zuckerberg's company goes one step further and accuses Apple of preventing the progress of small companies in the midst of the global pandemic.

Facebook has just joined the criticism made against Apple because of the 30% commission it charges for sales made by developers through the App Store. Facebook mentions its new chat features for businesses, where they can charge users for live broadcasts of classes such as yoga. The company contacted Apple not to charge that amount but the company led by Tim Cook refused. Equally did not allow Facebook to make payments directly. Google also refused to waive the commission but did allow the use of Facebook Pay.

Facebook claims with those decisions many small businesses will not be able to come back amid the pandemic that we are suffering due to the collection of that percentage by Apple and the duty of companies such as Facebook or Apple is to help small companies to get out of the crisis as soon as possible and in the best possible way.

We are seeing a lot of news about the 30% commissions that Apple charges for purchases through the App Store. Of course, complaining is worth little. On the other hand, if you do things like Epic Games, another rooster would crow, but of course, it is a very very risky decision. Time will tell if people prefer Fortnite or Apple.
