📌 Make enforcement genuinely inclusive.

Europe's digital ecosystem runs on Free Software, SMEs, and small developer teams. They face complex procedures and disproportionate barriers. Compliance workshops shaped by gatekeeper agendas are not enough.

Enforcement must be designed with smaller actors in mind, and Device Neutrality must be at its core.

Users must have real control over the software on their own devices. 🔓

🎙️ Our @dario joined the "DMA Vox Populi" podcast from Prof. Simonetta Vezzoso (@wavesblog) to talk about the DMA review

💡 What the European Commission got right, where it fell short, and what must come next for software freedom and interoperability in Europe.

Episode 5 - Let's review the Review!

#DeviceNeutrality must be central to this effort. Users must have full control over their devices: the freedom to install and uninstall software and operating systems, free from gatekeeper interference.

We regret the EC fails to recognise the need of changing the DMA in order to accommodate the pressing needs of the diverse stakeholders involved in the software industry in the EU.

Do you know what #RouterFreedom is?

It is the right of users to choose and operate their own routers, modems, and other equipment used for internet connection.

It is important for user autonomy, competition, and privacy as it enables users to run #FreeSoftware operating systems on their routers and modems.

Have you seen our new sticker? It’s the perfect one to give to those people (we’re sure at least one name comes to mind) who own an Apple device.

And yes, it glows in the dark 🤩

#39c3

After the lightning talk today about the #DMA Interoperability Survey, tomorrow we’re having a deep dive Q&A session about #DeviceNeutrality, #FreeSoftware and what the #DigitalMarketaAct has to do with that.

🗓️ Day 3 (29.12)
📍 Bits&Bäume Living Room (Hall H)
⏰ 14:00 - 14:50

Stop by if you want to learn more about what we (@fsfe) are doing to fight for interoperability and to hold Big Tech accountable to the #DMA rules.

Looking forward to seeing you there 👾🛸

Your whole internet traffic, encryption, backups, communication, shopping, writings, business interaction, and so on are transferred through your router. If your router is not free, your digital freedom is likely to be compromised.

💥 Check out our #RouterFreedom tech wiki, which collects information on how to use a different modem or router from your internet provider.
