Comment on Apple is placing warnings on EU apps that don’t use App Store payments
Heathcliff@lemm.ee 10 months agoExactly. I wouldn’t be surprised if some of those apps are using payment processors outside the EU to circumvent this. So assuming those apps are not warning the users for “no refunds”, who else is gonna give some kind of warning?
I’m a EU citizen residing outside the EU, so my knowledge on this is not exactly up to date.

You misunderstod. It’s based on the country they are operating in (not where they are based). If they take payments from EU citizens, they are bound by EU law.
So theoretically that sounds great, but practically it would have to be Apple to kick those apps from the platform if the apps are not abiding European law, or how does that work?
No it wouldn’t need to be Apple.
If a payment processor won’t comply, you can ask for a chargeback at your bank, and if it keeps happening, the payment processor can be blocked from accepting EU payments at all.
If the app developer uses non-Apple payment processor, those refunds would be handled by that payment processor. The potencial app removal would be handled by Apple or alternative store it’s installed from.
Yet still, is it then so wrong to warn a user beforehand that the payment processor isn’t going to be Apple? I’m not sure what your idea is that the EU should do here? No warning from anyone seems to be a recipe for scamming.
What you’ve quoted isn’t what I asked.
