Kind of rolling my eyes at people celebrating the latest EU DMA decision as somehow a victory against ‘Big Tech’;
https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/ip_25_1085
Like, Meta being fined less than Apple, when they're basically just stringing the Commission along? Lawl.
Also, this doesn't serve the user;
“Under the DMA, app developers distributing their apps via Apple's App Store should be able to inform customers, free of charge, of alternative offers outside the App Store, steer them to those offers and allow them to make purchases.”
There's just no way that works in a manner that doesn't result in more harvesting of user data 🙄
It's an empty victory.
