100%-agree, this definitely should land in something-something DMA

Edit: Also coming back on this, why exactly do we go with the marketing term "remote attestation" and not by the name what it actually is a remote kill switch?
🤖 'Is #genAI too dynamic for the #DMA’s framework?'
📢 Join us on 23 April at #DigitalCompetitionDay for an in-depth discussion on the inherent tension between the fast-moving generative #AI landscape and the #DigitalMarketAct’s static approach.
If you have missed it, Google is closing down the Android ecosystem Apple style by requiring every app be signed by them. How do you get your app signed then? By accepting their ToS and paying them a fee. Which is of course in stark violation of EU DMA. But this will affect the entire world, and kill indie/open source apps as we know it.

After 5 years of faithful service, my #refurbished #Samsung Galaxy S9 has died.
It's been replaced with a beautiful green @Fairphone 6 which I instantly fell in love with.
What's more: for the first time, I experienced the power of the #DigitalMarketAct:

#Apple presents how it will charge developers who distribute their apps without Apple's involvement (outside the AppStore) with a new fee, the #CTC (yes, it's just a renamed #CTF Core Technology Fee).
IMHO no world in which Apple remains a #gatekeeper over which code people run on their devices and, worse, demands money for it, cannot be compatible with the #DigitalMarketAct.
First major #DMA decisions and fines spark concern: "The Commission is redesigning business models of #OnlinePlatforms, moving goalposts, and limiting #Digitalnnovation. 🚨 #DigitalMarketAct could even force companies to provide services at a loss."
