Miguel de Icaza ᯅ🍉The issue is that these developers wanted one thing (lower fees), but lobbied for “freedom of stores” and “external payment systems”
They got what they asked for, which is not what they wanted.
Felipe Cepriano@Migueldeicaza I find it weird that the EU wasn't more specific about taxes or accepting apps.
They do regulate debit/credit cards interchange fees, and the DSA regulates content moderation on social media.
@felipecn because it is not a credit card processing fee.
@Migueldeicaza Yep, I agree. I'm not saying it is (also because cards interchange is regulated at 0,30% maximum!)
But the EU already regulate other markets more specifically. They could've regulated a max 15% fee for gatekeepers and required app approvals to be transparent and appealable
They didn't regulated those, but just opened up the market (in hope EU companies can compete on them, I think)
