None of these actually hit upon DMA rules directly, so maybe Apple's just pulling out the dirty tricks to try to turn users against legislators.

@stroughtonsmith @macrumors I mean, seriously, if you were to have to sell apps in the US and there was some kind of nebulous policy that might make you risk having to pay huge fines even on your own global income, wouldn't you pause feature rollout there until you could ensure you wouldn't be fined?

@sdw @stroughtonsmith @macrumors I see a lot of "functioning government defends the little guy against corporate greed" takes on Mastodon, but it's important to remember that the EU is neither democratic nor is it popular in Europe. Every recent referendum on the EU has been lost. Citizens are waking up to the fact it's just a huge cartel of European, especially French and German, business interests.
