\tFacebook became the latest app developer to take a swipe at Apple, criticising its decision to take a cut of revenue generated by a new tool designed to enable small businesses to cash in on live broadcasts hosted on the social media platform.
\nIn a blog, head of the Facebook app Fidji Simo said a new paid online events feature allows eligible business owners in 20 countries to broadcast live events and charge users a one-time fee when they register to join the session.<\/p>\n

Simo noted that during testing businesses used the tool to host \u201cexpert talks, trivia events, podcast recordings, boxing matches, cooking classes, intimate meet-and-greets, fitness classes and more\u201d.<\/p>\n

Facebook will not collect a fee for paid events \u201cfor at least the next year\u201d because \u201cmany businesses are struggling and every cent matters\u201d.<\/p>\n

But while businesses will get to keep all of the revenue they generate from registration transactions processed on Android and the web, she noted Apple refused to \u201creduce its 30 per cent App Store tax or allow us to offer Facebook Pay so we could absorb all costs for businesses struggling\u201d due to the Covid-19 (coronavirus) pandemic.<\/p>\n

As a result, she said businesses will \u201conly be paid 70 per cent of their hard-earned revenue\u201d stemming from iOS transactions.<\/p>\n

The swipe comes as Apple faces intense scrutiny of its app store practices, most recently facing a lawsuit from Fortnite creator Epic Games [1].<\/p>\n
