So now that both #Apple and #Meta have formally appealed the #DMA fines that are just pocket money for them, can we please start calling those lawsuits for what they are: intimidation similar to #SLAPPs.

They are designed to bind public resources for years, which regulators will lack for enforcing the #DigitalMarketsAct, to intimidate civil servants in the @EUCommission, and to show us that #BigTech is above the law and that we are helpless.

Let's not be intimidated. #ResistBigTech

...on the positive side, it was expected and both decisions seem rather strong - defending them should be much less resource intensive than traditional competition law cases, hence enforcement can move on! But, yes, extra funding is needed: support is there-Draghi only yesterday reiterated his #DMA❤️
