Apple blocks Daily Mail from news app

The Daily Mail has called for a crackdown on Apple amid accusations that the tech giant has shut the publisher out of its news app.

Apple has refused to allow the Mail to feature its articles on Apple News, Britain’s most widely used news app, the news group has told the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA).

It claims Apple is concerned that allowing the Mail onto its app will harm other outlets and that the publisher’s size would “overwhelm Apple’s ecosystem”.

The Mail says that Apple News’s growing influence means it has become as indispensable as Google search and calls for the CMA to tackle the company’s “arbitrary and discriminatory practices”.

In a submission to the regulator, DMG Media, the Mail’s owner, said that it had joined Apple News’s launch in the United States in 2015, but declined to be part of the subsequent UK version.
