The EU is fighting big tech on multiple fronts. My point was that this fine (and other fines) might show these companies what happens if they keep ignoring lawmakers.
- GardenLetter27 3y agoI think the DMA (and this case) is the most important one. Right now Apple directly controls how most people interact with all their software and the Internet. Although I wish the EU would take the money from these fines and put it straight into developing European competition like the FairPhone, or new projects building on the PinePhone Pro or Purism work, etc. - competition is the only real threat. I dislike some of the EU policies like the Cybersecurity Act and AI act (and parts of the DSA), but the DMA has been great.
- FirmwareBurner 3y ago> I wish the EU would take the money from these fines and put it straight into developing European competition That would be nice, but currently we have much bigger social issues on the horizon that need funding than FOSS projects, like energy, the environment, the health system, the migration crisis, local defense spending, and the war next door out of which the EU will pay half of Ukraine's national deficit. I think those are more important ATM than having a nicer Fairphone.
