When it comes to consumer protection, no region in the world does it better than Europe. 🇪🇺

On #WorldConsumerRightsDay, it’s worth remembering: more than 50 years of advocacy don’t just sit in policy papers — they show up in your daily life: in fair transactions, safe products, and transparent contracts.

Let’s keep working to make it even stronger!

Nice

do you also protect me against Google wanting every developer for Android Apps to register with them or else their Apps will not run on android? I as a consumer want to decide what Apps I install by myself

Hi @henry_null, thanks to our DMA regulation we are giving power back to developers by reducing their reliance on Apple and Google’s app stores. Developers can now directly inform users about better oﬀers outside of app stores. They can also distribute their apps via alternative app stores or directly from the web. Consumers beneﬁt too, as they can now be informed within the apps about better and cheaper oﬀers and be redirected to them.
