German speaking. People seem to be downplaying the legal risks for “small” stakeholders that “would go under the radar of EU authorities” but the problem is that those laws introduce legal insecurity that many many developers I know are not willing to take. Those laws are shallowly formulated and will require plenty of court rulings over several years to form some kind of framework for concrete behavior. And as we’ve seen in the past, BigTech will be much better in handling this legal insecurity than smaller local startups.
If EU’s intention really is to assert a level playing field, then they just achieve the opposite.

Regulation benefits mainly big incumbents, this has always been so and should be known by everyone who is even remotely interested in this topic.
- geysersam 3y ago> Regulation benefits mainly big incumbents This is a gross overgeneralization. There are many examples of regulations explicitly intended to increase competition. It could very well be that this specific law does benefit big incumbents more.
