- 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.
