So now you need "risk assessment" just to publish a mobile phone app. The precautionary principle has destroyed the EU.

  If the mobile app makes 7.5 billion revenue or has 45m monthly active users, then the company should definitely do their risk assessment. That's the exception though and doesn't affect many mobile phone apps. https://digital-markets-act.ec.europa.eu/commission-designates-six-gatekeepers-under-digital-markets-act-2023-09-06_en https://digital-markets-act.ec.europa.eu/commission-designat... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Markets_Act#Criteria_defining_Gatekeepers https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Markets_Act#Criteria_d...

  You do if you’re a massive social media company, yes. Really huge companies are treated specially under the new rules.

  Why are you assuming that regulation that applies to a billion dollar company would apply to everyone? Isn't it way more useful to just regulate the large players? Small players can't make a lot of damage, and the cost of regulation in an entire market (millions of apps) is huge compared to regulating maybe a dozen apps with a half billion users.
