Apple’s new slogan should be “act different.”

Today, we informed Apple of our preliminary view that its App Store rules are in breach of the Digital Markets Act, as they prevent app developers from freely steering consumers to alternative channels for offers and content.

We also opened a new non-compliance procedure over concerns that its new contractual requirements for third-party app developers and app stores fall short of ensuring effective #DMA compliance.

This crap again? I don't care for third party app stores. All I care about as a consumer is secure devices that focus on my privacy. The EU can't guarantee such products so I don't care what the EU thinks is best for me.

I want to be able to use Apple Intelligence as it is designed by Apple in the EU so make that happen!

@SebastienK @EUCommission Apple is using AI as a bullshit excuse. They should make it compliant (if it isn’t) instead of complaining
@spitfire that's what @EUCommission and the lobbyists that dined with them want you to believe 😂
@SebastienK @EUCommission Well, you seem like an Apple lobbyist/uncritical fanboy, so let’s leave it at that.

@spitfire ok than let me call you a mouthpiece for EU lobbyists and we are even 😉

@SebastienK @EUCommission Since I don’t know them - please indulge me for a moment and explain what is it you think they’re trying to achieve here?

@spitfire slow down innovation so the EU can catch up and protect big tech monopolies in the EU like Spotify.
