@rileytestut They really are playing a game of chicken that they started, and I don’t think the EU is going to be first to flinch.

@caseyliss @rileytestut Why would Apple not reject vMac for all of these cited reasons? Force the EC to rule, in writing, that the DMA means Apple is not allowed to protect its trademarked named, trademarked logos, and the MacOS license agreement.

@gruber @caseyliss @rileytestut The DMA lays out exactly for which very few reasons Apple can reject. Its not interpretation whether this is one of the cleared reasons, its not. They just play with fire for no reason. Its like committing murder for the sake of finding out whether your home country will imprison you for it…

@Jann @caseyliss @rileytestut Comparing the rejection of an app from notarization to murder seems a bit strong. If the EC disagrees they’ll overrule and fine Apple as they deem appropriate. Or perhaps they’ll remove Apple’s notarization step from the process entirely. Let’s see. But it’s certainly Apple’s right to object and stand up for what they believe.
