@stevestreza but we should have sympathy for this commission that tells us we are too stupid to choose for ourselves what we want?

Apple’s closed system has always been proven lightyears ahead when it comes down to privacy and security.

In the meanwhile in the EU we are still clicking “reject cookies” on every website whilst cookies are still being installed. 🙄

@SebastienK @stevestreza this is another lie you’ve been fed. There is no GDPR cookie banner law.

Similarly, Apple’s promise of superior security is nonsense. Android zero days sell in black markets for similar prices, if not higher, *despite* being a more open platform. On Android, users can make informed choices in sacrificing security for freedom — the default platform is highly secure

@SebastienK @stevestreza The simple reality is that Apple has found touting privacy to be an effective marketing strategy, but their actions consistently demonstrate regard for nobody other than shareholders, as is their legal responsibility as a public company.

This is why government regulation is necessary.

This EU smear campaign is obviously a carefully crafted lie to this end, and Americans are buying it.

> the only thing it cares about is protecting EU monopoly tech

It’s crazy to accuse the EU of wrongdoing because it doesn’t regulate monopolies *while* complaining that it is regulating monopolies. Your double standard is just as bad as the one you accuse the EU of.

Actually, it’s arguably worse, because if the EU is playing favorites as you say, well god forbid they protect the interests of… their own economy.
