The EU giveth, and Apple taketh away.

Accidental Tech Podcast: 593: Not a European Lawyer

Three nerds discussing tech, Apple, programming, and loosely related matters.

@atpfm Living in the EU and listening to the episode. I think the question @siracusa asked "why did they take so long to respond to the steering provision" and the question @marcoarment asked "why didn't they just write X into the DMA" both have the same answer: the EU Commission typically doesn't decide on things with a few bureaucrats sitting in a room alone, there is a LOT of back-and-forth with different stakeholders in the market through industry focus groups (inc. devs), which takes time.
@markv @atpfm @siracusa @marcoarment @caseyliss ie preparing their case thoroughly. and with the slippery snake that apple is sadly turning out to be - through malicious compliance - thoroughly is exactly what the EC needs to be.
