Top EU official downplays expectations over digital fines for Apple and Meta.

The chief of the European Commission’s competition directorate downplayed expectations over the size of the fines that the EU executive is set to hand down to Apple and Meta for infringing the bloc’s digital antitrust rules.

The bloc’s Digital Markets Act is about compliance, not fines, says Olivier Guersent.

Mal ne Frage an die Allgemeinheit...

Es mehren sich Aussagen, dass die EU die amerikanischen Big-Tech Unternehmen digital besteuern, bzw. mittels DMA und DSA hart bestrafen sollen. So wie jetzt ja wohl X mit 1 Milliarde.

Wie wahrscheinlich ist es also, dass dieses Thema insgesamt eskaliert und Muckelbirne Trump per Geo-IP Blocking die Datenverbindungen zwischen EU und USA kappt?

Here is Google’s announcement, with a lot of additional detail: workspace.google.com/blog/iden

NB this functionality is good from a security perspective, but its competitive implications will need to be thought through carefully: “the option to require all external recipients (even if they are Gmail users) to use the restricted version of #Gmail.” #DMCCA #DMA

#X potrebbe venire sanzionata dall'#UE per un miliardo di dollari (!) per violazioni del Digital Services Act (#DSA): non ha limitato contenuti illeciti o disinformazione

I commissari UE hanno sempre applicato rigorosamente DSA e #DMA

Ora però il rispetto delle leggi potrebbe avere ripercussioni sui rapporti UE/USA, perché #Musk ha incarichi governativi e per la deriva autocratica trumpiana

In breve siamo a regole contro caos.

European authorities have been weighing how big a fine to issue X as they consider the risks of further antagonizing President Trump amid wider trans-Atlantic disputes over trade, tariffs and the war in Ukraine.

📣 #DMA: European Commission falls short on interoperability requirements for Apple

Despite initial promising steps, the @EUCommission 's measures on Apple’s compliance with interoperability procedures under the Digital Markets Act fall short.

The less stringent obligations on API documentation and long deadlines for interoperability solutions will impact how #FreeSoftware projects get interoperability from Apple.

What happened to 'interoperability by design'?

In December, 2024, the @EUCommission had proposed an interesting path for Apple to achieve higher standards of interoperability under the #DMA. The final version excluded several of these requirements.

A coalition of organisations and experts have weighted the positives and negatives of the final decision of how developers can request #interoperability from #Apple.

#Google funds this #EU think tank to put out policy papers saying #DigitalMarketsAct will break their lovely #PlayProtect scare screens, making us all less safe and "it require[s] Google to allow developers to insert links inside their Play Store apps".

As I've always said in relation to the #DMA, let @fdroidorg compete on trustworthiness. I'd love to see this think thank include analysis malware rates of #CalyxOS with #FDroid and compare that to #GooglePlay #security
