New legislation for rapidly moving new technology is not 100% clear at the outset.
Shocking!
The idea that if legislation is not perfectly crafted it’s bad is ridiculous. The only reason anyone even entertains this patently stupid concept is because the dysfunctional American system means you have to spend massive political capital to get legislation passed and once you did there’s almost no way to tinker the legislation to correct mistakes and handle unforeseen impacts.
Fortunately most of the rest of the world, especially the EU, don’t act that way. Yeah the initial legislation will have flaws. And they will fix them.
All that being said, considering Apple has consistently acted in bad faith with EU legislation I would wait until other non bad faith actors (so not Meta) also face similar issues.
- joshstrange 2y ago> The idea that if legislation is not perfectly crafted it’s bad is ridiculous. I literally never said that. I said it was unclear and a “wait and see” strategy is completely valid given the uncertainty. Not only do I not believe that the EU is somehow better at changing and adapting laws but I wasn’t making any of the arguments you seem to be replying to. Also I’d love to hear who you think are “non bad faith actors” w.r.t. the DMA.
- dialup_sounds 2y agoI don't think he said the legislation was bad. It's accomplishing exactly what it set out to do.
