Apple is helpfully providing the malicious compliance strategies the tech industry will use to avoid gatekeeper regulation.
Legislators in Asia & the us are no doubt thrilled to observe this, at a distance, so they can better design their versions.
I dont think we have to worry about gatekeeper platforms throwing their toys out the pram (stroller); every major gov is watching this.
- throw623424 3y agoI wish I shared your optimism that the US would ever legislate anything even remotely approaching the DMA. It seems to me that American culture is so entrenched in this (absurd, IMO) notion of "liberties" and "freedoms" ... which in practice only ever seem to apply to corporations with trillion dollar market caps. The FTC has been chaired for years now by someone who wrote their thesis on the anti-competitive practices of $FB and $GOOG and whatever. And yet, despite her best intentions/efforts, the FTC under her leadership has proved to be utterly toothless time and again. If they can't even stop M$ from gobbling up Activision/Blizz, how on earth would sweeping changes to how (digital) business is done in the US ever hope to succeed?
