Well they need to wait a few more months before Apple will get their teeth kicked in, for this Bullshit Compliance by the EU Commission, and cry about handing over a sizeable chunk of their global turnover to them.
Maximum fine under DSA is 10% of Global Turnover
- wvenable 3y agoI'm sure Apple is complying perfectly with the letter of the law.
- keleftheriou 3y agoI’m sure complying with the letter of the law while ignoring the spirit of it is the best strategy.
- bitvoid 3y agoUnlike the US, the EU cares more about the intention of the law than the letter of the law, from what I understand.
- riscy 3y agoThis is the fundamental problem with laws.
- turquoisevar 3y agoNot sure what “the EU” cares about. I can tell you that the courts in the EU mainly care about the letter of the law. Less SCOTUS-esque rollercoaster rides about intent and historical tradition, more plaintext reading of the law. Doesn’t mean they never have to interpret if something is unclear, but the DMA is actually pretty straightforward, with here and there some language that’s open for interpretation but not pertaining to browsers.
- justinclift 3y agoThat'd be a fine the EU would be happy to receive. After the several decades of wrangling in courts. ;)
- St0n3d 3y agoThis will not happen. If Apple complies, it complies. They can’t blame Apple for not following a random EU directive in jurisdictions outside of the EU to begin with. They’re even different legal entities. The EU is not going to do anything about this at all and if they try: it will be blocked. I’ll check back here in 6 months to see how this aged.
