ＥＵ、アップルとメタに総額7億ユーロ制裁金 巨大テック規制違反で初
［ブリュッセル ２３日 ロイター］ - 欧州連合（ＥＵ）欧州委員会は２３日、巨大テック企業を規制するデジタル市場法（ＤＭＡ）に違反したとしてアップル (AAPL.O), opens new tab に５億ユーロ（５億７０００万ドル）、「フェイスブック」などを運営するメタ・プラットフォームズ (META.O), opens new tab に２億ユーロの制裁金を科すと発表した。
ＤＭＡに基づく制裁金命令は初めて。欧州委は、アップルがアプリ配信サービス「アップストア」で、アプリ開発業者が利用者を割安な他の手法に誘導することを阻止する技術的・商業的制約を設けているとして、その排除を命じた。メタについては、フェイスブックやインスタグラムでの広告を巡り、利用者に広告を表示しない有料プランか、追跡型広告を表示する無料プランかを選択させる２３年１１月導入の商慣行がＤＭＡに違反するとした。両社は２カ月以内に是正措置を取らなければ、追加の制裁金を科される可能性がある。
アップルは異議を申し立てる方針を表明。欧州委員会の決定は、アップルのユーザーのプライバシーとセキュリティーや製品にとって有害で、同社の技術の無償提供を強要するものだと批判した。
メタは、欧州委は中国と欧州企業には異なる基準で運営できるようにする一方で、成功している米企業にはハンディキャップを与えようとしていると指摘した。

Elon Musk has PTSD & made a MISTAKE by helping Trump, his dad claims as he reveals verdict on what caused explosive feud
ELON Musk has "White House PTSD" and thinks he made a mistake by helping Trump get reelected, his dad has claimed. Errol Musk, 79, made the explosive remarks in Moscow, where he's set to appear at a Kremlin-backed forum organised by Putin's inner circle. Advertisement 9 Errol Musk claims his son Elon has 'PTSD from the White House' Credit: East2West 9 Musk Snr also believes the Tesla boss regrets helping Trump get reelected Credit: Reuters 9 Errol is currently in Moscow to appear at a Kremlin-backed forum Credit: East2West 9 Elon reportedly donated $288 million to Trump's 2024 campaign Credit: AFP It comes just days after his billionaire son's high-profile alliance with the US President imploded in a fierce online feud. The world's richest man — who reportedly donated $288 million to Trump's 2024 campaign and briefly served as a White House aide — has now turned on the president over his sweeping tax and spending bill. Elon even claimed on X that Trump was tied to disgraced paedophile Jeffrey Epstein, though the post was later deleted and the White House dismissed the allegation outright. Their bromance is now beyond repair. Advertisement On Sunday, Trump confirmed to NBC that he has no interest in making amends: 'I would assume so, yeah,' he said when asked if their relationship was over. 'I have no intention of speaking to him.' Now, the Tesla and SpaceX boss is said to be grappling with regret and fatigue from his turbulent stint in Washington. Musk Snr told Putin-controlled media: 'So at the moment, Elon is inclined to say that he's made a mistake.' 'Trump will prevail. He's the president, he was elected as the president. Advertisement 'Elon made a mistake, I think, but he's tired, he's stressed. He added: 'Five months of continuous stress, continuous, continuous stress, stress, stress. Trump crushes 'peace talk' hopes with Musk as he insists Elon has 'lost his mind' and 'vows to get rid of his Tesla' 'And then in the end, it's just him and Trump left… They still don't know what to do, so they fight with each other until they can come to normal conditions.' The South African businessman likened the split to a "marriage going wrong" and suggested his son was out of depth in the brutal political arena. Advertisement He told Russian outlet Izvestia: 'It happens in marriages, it happens in partnerships, it happens a lot . 'And people have to understand that at the moment, Elon is having second thoughts... 'He's not a great politician, he is still learning, he's a great tech innovator and so forth. 'But his politics is, as I've said before, is a swimming pool with no bottom, it's a swimming pool with no sides. Advertisement 'When you're in a swimming pool of politics, you've got to really know where to go. 'And he [Elon] doesn't realise that.' 9 Errol made the explosive claims on Putin-controlled media in Russia Credit: East2West 9 He said his son had a very stressful five months Credit: East2West Advertisement Errol added that Elon had been trying to "get everything right" with a recent bill, but clashed with Trump over what he saw as excessive Democratic spending concessions. 'But unfortunately, he doesn't realise that in order to get their votes in the Senate and the Congress, Trump has to do that,' he said. 'They are the only two people left in the arena… and they took to each other, which is understandable.' Errol's comments were made to Tsargrad TV — owned by Konstantin Malofeev, a businessman with alleged links to Russian military intelligence. Advertisement He praised Moscow, saying: 'Whoever designed this city is a true genius. These majestic buildings remind me of Ancient Rome.' He also dismissed Western portrayals of the Russian capital as 'nonsense.' 9 Trump and Musk's bromance fell through in a spectacular public feud online Credit: AFP 9 The feud erupted over Trump's 'big, beautiful bill,' which proposed stripping billions in government subsidies from Tesla Credit: AP Advertisement Errol will speak at the Future Forum 2050, organised by Malofeev and Putin ideologist and 'philosopher' Alexander Dugin. Meanwhile, Russia appears eager to capitalize on Musk's estrangement from the US political elite. Putin crony Dmitry Medvedev cheekily offered to mediate peace talks between 'D and E' — Trump and Elon— 'for a reasonable fee and to accept Starlink shares as payment.' Another Kremlin loyalist, ex-space chief Dmitry Rogozin, publicly offered Musk asylum. Advertisement 'You are respected in Russia. If you encounter insurmountable problems in the US, come to us and become one of us,' Rogozin wrote. Russia would offer him 'reliable comrades and complete freedom of technical creativity'.

Louis van Gaal slams Man Utd transfer approach with cutting Liverpool remark
Former Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal has slammed the Red Devils approach in the transfer market and compared it to that of Premier League rivals Liverpool with Arne Slot Louis van Gaal has made a cutting remark on Manchester United, labelling the a 'commercial club, not a football club'. The Dutch coach believes the Red Devils need too empower manager Ruben Amorim if they hope to be able to replicate the success of Liverpool under Arne Slot. Van Gaal was in the Old Trafford hot seat for two seasons from 2014 until 2016 and won the FA Cup in his second term in charge. The 73-year-old was left surprised by the team's inability to land first choice options despite its commercial wealth. United's ability in the transfer market has long been called into question with accusations of overpaying for players who have not been good enough. The 13-times Premier League champions have seen few outright wins in their incoming business with the exception of Bruno Fernandes. The likes of Rasmus Hojlund and Antony have failed to set the Theatre of Dreams alight in recent seasons, but issues stretch back further than that in the mind of Van Gaal. "They are a commercial club, not a football club," Van Gaal told Sky Sports. "I have said that before and that's always difficult. When the manager is not deciding which players have to come in, it is very difficult." "I think that it is is the way that it should be," he added. "Because then you can fire a manager because he doesn't give any results. But when other people buy the players, then you have a problem. "You need to have the knowledge of the manager, the orientation of the manager, because he has to train them." And, really sticking the boot in, Van Gaal pointed to Premier League rivals Liverpool as a team United should replicate. The ex-Bayern Munich boss reckons Reds head coach has a pivotal role in Liverpool's transfer business, despite adding just one player to his squad last summer. "Arne Slot is the man who says to his technical manager that he has to buy this player, pay attention to it," Van Gaal commented. The Dutchman has long been criticial of his former team's transfer approach. Van Gaal claimed that he did not receive the players he asked for during his time at the club, and the side's transfer business was held to ransom. " Manchester United did not have the qualities to become champions and had an outdated selection with 10 players over 30, five over 35," he told Voetbal International in 2020. "So I told them I was going to rejuvenate and which players should come. I didn't get one of those. "Then you end up in a different segment and as a coach you have to push your boundaries. You don't expect that at the richest club in the world. "A turnover of £600m and can't buy the players you need. You should buy number one and not number seven. Of course, the selling club also thinks: 'If you are so rich, you also have to pay the highest amount imaginable for a player.' That was what happened with transfers. "Then you have to do with the numbers seven or eight on your wish list. For which you actually pay way too much money, on which the coach is judged and convicted."

Premier League stadiums of the future with eight clubs splashing out £6BILLION on new grounds and major transformations
Scroll down to see how each club is planning on making major changes GROUND BREAKING Premier League stadiums of the future with eight clubs splashing out £6BILLION on new grounds and major transformations THE Premier League has become a dominant force in European football, attracting the best players, biggest viewing figures and making the most money. And as the league continues to grow - both financially and in reputation - clubs are trying to grow alongside it. Advertisement 36 Tottenham have set the standard for modern stadiums with their £1billion home Credit: EPA 36 Fulham have added a swimming pool to Craven Cottage Credit: Fulham FC Gone are the days of being able to get away with a warm pint and a cold pie at half time as fans try and cram into the terraces to sit on wooden seats. Now teams want architectural masterpieces as their homes with luxury hospitality areas, top tier food and drink, and a concourse that would make you debate even going back out to watch the second half. Tottenham have set the standard with their £1BILLION stadium built in 2019, fit with a retractable NFL pitch, in-house micro brewery and the perfect view from every seat. While other clubs have started to renovate their historic grounds, such as Fulham putting a SWIMMING POOL in their new Riverside Stand at Craven Cottage. Advertisement READ MORE IN FOOTBALL BRAVE NEW WORLD Gary Lineker agrees deal with new broadcaster just a week after MOTD exit Nobody wants to be left behind in the new revolution of what a football ground can look like, with EIGHT Premier League clubs now working on plans to improve their facilities too. Here SunSport breaks down what those eight clubs are planning and just how much it could all cost... MANCHESTER UNITED Cost : £2billion : £2billion Opening date : 2030 : 2030 Capacity: 100,000 36 Manchester United unveiled plans to build a 100,000-seater stadium 36 Old Trafford will be demolished and new ground will be built on adjacent land Advertisement 36 The new ground promises to be the largest football stadium in England 36 United have vowed to build the fan experience zone of the future 36 Sir Jim Ratcliffe believes United should have the best stadium in the world Man Utd have the biggest club stadium in the UK, but they want it to be even bigger. Advertisement The Red Devils announced earlier this year that they are planning a £2BILLION project that will see them build the 'Wembley of the North'. United's execs, led by minority owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe, are planning on making the stadium large enough to house 100,000 FANS. The club have put a rather ambitious five-year timeframe on the new stadium, especially given their dire financial straits at the moment. Architects at Foster and Partners, who will design the project, said the stadium would feature an umbrella design and a new public plaza that is "twice the size of Trafalgar Square". Advertisement Man Utd had explored the idea of expanding Old Trafford, but instead landed on the decision to create what will be the largest football stadium in the country - gazumping Wembley's 90,000-seat capacity. It won't just be an incredible stadium either, United have also confirmed the surrounding area will be regenerated as part of a joint venture with the the government and local council - including the addition of 17,000 new homes. As for the stadium itself, concept images tease a huge wraparound scoreboard, along with a three-storey museum and canal-side restaurants as part of a vast fan village. Things haven't got underway just yet, but when they do United will be able to continue playing at Old Trafford during the construction process, before demolishing the historic ground once they move into their new home. Advertisement Sir Jim Ratcliffe said of the incredible plans: "Our current stadium has served us brilliantly for the past 115 years, but it has fallen behind the best arenas in world sport. "By building next to the existing site, we will be able to preserve the essence of Old Trafford, while creating a truly state-of-the-art stadium that transforms the fan experience, only footsteps from our historic home." MANCHESTER CITY Cost : £300million : £300million Opening date : 2025/26 season : 2025/26 season Capacity: Over 60,000 Inside Man City's £300MILLION new stadium upgrade with futuristic Etihad project to rival Anfield 36 Manchester City are redeveloping the Etihad Stadium Credit: Man City 36 City are in the midst of an incredible redevelopment of the North Stand Credit: Man City Advertisement 36 The Etihad will have the largest safe-standing are in the Premier League after the redevelopment is complete Credit: Man City 36 The project will also add a fan park for supporters on matchdays Credit: Man City 36 Work has already started on expanding the North Stand Credit: Rex Just four miles down the road from United's Old Trafford is another stadium in the midst of a mega redevelopment. Advertisement Neighbours and rivals Manchester City have been investing their unlimited pot of cash into turning the Etihad Stadium into one of the best arenas in world football. At its current reduced capacity of 52,900, due to the ongoing work on a new expansion, the Etihad is only the seventh largest capacity football stadium in England - not particularly fitting for the best team in the country over the last seven years. Plans to redevelop and add more seats in the North Stand would likely see it become the fifth largest ground in the country, boasting a similar capacity to title rivals like Arsenal and Liverpool's grounds. The plans, which are due to be completed during the 2025/26 season, will reportedly add around 7,000 seats to the stadium. Advertisement But it's not just about more fans, it's also about increasing the noise and atmosphere in process. For City, that means adding a huge standing area of the Etihad crowd. That expansion will include 3,000 safe-standing rail seats, making it the Premier League's largest safe standing area. Away from adding more seats, City are also adding brand new hospitality area, which will house 800 guests and include a 500-seat food hall and a premium bar. Plus fans can look forward to an incredible Sky Bar with views overlooking the pitch and a stadium roof walk experience. Advertisement Work is also underway on the 'City Square fan zone', a 3,000- capacity fan zone that will offer up food and drink as well as screens for supporters to watch the match on the Etihad campus. A new club shop and a museum will also be added to the surrounding area to help improve on the matchday experience. And if you're wondering where you can stay nearby to be close to all the action then City have you covered - they're also building a 400-bed hotel. LEEDS UNITED Cost : £100million (estimated) : £100million (estimated) Opening date : Late 2030 : Late 2030 Capacity: 53,000 36 Leeds released mock-ups of their home ground renovation Advertisement 36 The stadium will see a significant increase in capacity Credit: X @LUFC 36 The estimated final capacity of Elland Road will be 53,000 Credit: X @LUFC 36 The plans are set to be completed in 2030 Credit: X @LUFC Leeds United secured a return to the Premier League thanks to their 100-point tally in the Championship this season. Advertisement And along with their promotion back into the top flight, Leeds have announced plans for a mega renovation of their iconic Elland Road stadium. The Yorkshire club have revealed plans to rake their current capacity of 37,645 up to an estimated 53,000 - making it one of the largest grounds in the country. Concept art released by Leeds shows a new look to the 128-year-old stadium. New stands will tower over the old brick of the ground and make for a combination of history and future for the club now owned by 49ers Enterprises - the ownership group in charge of the NFL franchise San Francisco 49ers. Advertisement An increase of nearly 20,000 seats - which will help burn through the club's 26,000-strong season ticket waiting list - will mean updates to the West and North Stands and a change to the South Stand. While there is no specific details of what additions will be made yet, Leeds have confirmed they will be making improvements to the general admission and hospitality facilities. A statement told that fans can expect 'diverse range of spaces and experiences' that will 'encourage early arrivals and extended stays'. Leeds have revealed that work will begin this September, but changes to the stands won't start until 2026. Advertisement However, the club have estimated that the renovation won't be completed until late 2030. At the moment there has been no estimated figure for how much the project could cost the club, but similar renovations have exceeded £100million.

But one issue with having such a long history as a ground is that things start to become outdated. Villa have now announced that they want to modernise their ground, changing the look and feel of the concourse and adding over 7,000 seats to the stadium. The Birmingham club want to breach the 50,000-seat mark, leaving their current 42,660-set offering in the past. Advertisement For Villa, it's not just about getting more bums on seats on a matchday, but also allowing them to be better hosts for the 2028 Euros. Villa Park is one of the host stadia for the tournament and will have a new look for the fans across Europe who come to visit. Mockups of the plans show a new modernised exterior, a brand new North Stand wrapping into the Trinity Stand and a two-story club shop. While there will also be the addition of a new multi-use space called 'The Warehouse' - which will include a new Fan Zone destination. Advertisement Villa plan on putting the Premier League's largest beer hall inside The Warehouse.

Their plans for a stadium development of the King Power were announced all the way back in 2021, and have been delayed multiple times. The Foxes announced a project to increase the stadium capacity from 32,261 up to 40,000 - with a major change to the look of the ground too. Advertisement Initial plans showed a bubble-like look on the roof of the ground, a custom-built fanzone, a flasgship superstore and a 220-room hotel and business centre right next to the stadium. While the proposal also detailed a 6,000-capacity multi-purpose arena that would be side by side with the King Power, with plans to host concerts and indoor sporting events. However, the club were supposed to break ground in 2023, with an earliest expected completion date of late 2024. We're now in mid 2025 and no construction has begun, Leicester have been relegated from the Premier League twice and work starting on the ambitious plans have been delayed until at least 2026. Advertisement There is currently no estimate on how much the project could set back the Leicester owners. NOTTINGHAM FOREST Cost : £130million : £130million Opening date : Unknown, work estimated to begin in 2026 : Unknown, work estimated to begin in 2026 Capacity: 42,000 36 Nottingham Forest are set to renovate the City Ground Credit: Rex 36 In 2019, Nottingham Forest produced a computer-generated image of their potential new Peter Taylor Stand 36 Forest added hospitality pods made from shipping containers this season Credit: Alamy Advertisement Nottingham Forest are back in Europe, having secured a Conference League spot with their efforts under Nuno Espirito Santo this season. And the Tricky Trees are looking to make some changes to The City Ground that would make the stadium fit in alongside Europe's elite. The main focus of the project would be to increase the capacity by over 10,000 people to reach the 42,000 mark - a task that could cost around £130million. Forest want to do so by extending he Bridgford Stand and replacing the Peter Taylor Stand with a new two-tiered 10,000-seater structure. Advertisement The club shop and offices sit adjacent to the ground, and are set to be knocked down and replaced by a stunning 19-storey apartment block. This means the club shop will be moved and a museum showcasing the club's two European Cup triumphs will be added. The Reds also want to install solar panels on the Brian Clough Stand to generate their own power for matchdays. There will also be a "pedestrianised plaza" around the new City Ground. Advertisement Owner Evangelos Marinakis has his eye on eventually increasing the capacity to 50,000 should the initial changes prove a success. No date had been put in place for the plans to be completed, but internal documents have suggested work could begin in summer 2026. CRYSTAL PALACE Cost : £150million : £150million Opening date : 2027 : 2027 Capacity: 34,000 36 Crystal Palace are set to build a new main stand Credit: Crystal Palace/MDC 36 Construction work will begin at the end of this season Credit: Crystal Palace FC Advertisement 36 A new away changing room is currently being built Credit: Crystal Palace/MDC Newly crowned FA Cup winners Crystal Palace are yet another club with grand plans of expanding their ground. Selhurst Park currently holds around 26,000 supporters, but proposals have detailed ambitions to boost that to 34,000. The Eagles plan on doing it by building a new Main Stand, with construction set to begin this summer. Advertisement The new Main Stand will hold 13,500 supporters, compared to 5,200 currently housed in the stand that was built in 1924. While artist impressions show it will have a classy glass exterior adorned with a huge Eagle logo. Palace chairman Steve Parish said last summer he wants the club to have "a stadium the whole of South London can be proud of". As well as the new stand, Palace are also building a new club shop, a museum, a cafe, new dressing rooms and a fanpark. Advertisement It's thought that the project will total around £150million with a proposed completion date in 2027. NEWCASTLE UNITED Cost : Up to £3billion : Up to £3billion Opening date : 2031/2032 season : 2031/2032 season Capacity: Estimated at 70,000 Inside Newcastle's £3BILLION new stadium plans with St James' Park project to rival Old Trafford 36 Newcastle are facing a dilemma on whether to expand their iconic ground or find a new home Credit: Getty 36 The iconic stadium currently boasts a capacity of 52,304 Credit: Alamy 36 Advertisement 36 Although no official plans or pictures have been released by Newcastle just yet, the Magpies are planning on either renovating St James' Park or building a brand new stadium as they continue their development under the Saudi Public Investment Fund ownership. A world-class stadium would help Newcastle fit in with the teams they're trying to compete with – in a similar fashion to Tottenham's move to their state-of-the-art ground from White Hart Lane. Staying put would mean a huge redevelopment of the Gallowgate End, while leaving would mean building a brand new home elsewhere. Advertisement COO Brad Miller has promised a 'once-in-a-generation' investment into the redevelopment and that kind of cash will be needed to carry out what would be ambitious plans. The idea of a redevelopment would be to raise the capacity of the ground to around 60-65,000. While the idea of a new ground would mean that Newcastle could host around 70,000 fans, effectively increasing their capacity by almost 18,000 seats - that's more than both Brentford and Bournemouth can fit in their entire stadiums at the moment. The most likely place to move would be into the adjacent Leazes Park, however Newcastle are set to face legal hurdles and heavy resistance from members of the public who want to protect the Grade II listed park. Advertisement As a result their plans would see them use just a small section of the park with the rest of the new ground overlapping with St James' current footprint - plus a new parkland would be created where the current pitch is situated. A redevelopment of the Gallowgate has been mooted to cost anywhere up to £1BILLION, which is a crazy number in comparison to other expansion projects in recent times. Liverpool spent just £80m on their Anfield Road Stand expansion in 2024, and Fulham spent £120m on their Riverside Stand. But that kind of money may seem worth it when you learn that an entirely new stadium has been estimated at a cost of between £2BILLION and £3BILLION. Advertisement Reports have suggested that the club would be targeting the 2031/32 season for a brand new stadium, but would likely see an expansion completed in five years instead of seven.
