I note this because they're constantly lying that their goals are for the protection of users, when their actions send a different message. Here's the direct Twitter quote from Thierry Breton regarding the charge against Meta: The #DMA is here to give back users the power to decide over their #data #Meta has forced millions of users across EU into a binary choice : “pay or consent”. In our preliminary conclusion this is a breach of the DMA. Today we take an important step to ensure Meta complies. https://x.com/ThierryBreton/status/1807715743129043342 https://x.com/ThierryBreton/status/1807715743129043342 Meanwhile Spotify, all data brokers and any other non-DMA'd companies can take and exchange private user data. I believe the rule should apply to all companies because I don't see the point of "protecting" users from a handful of companies when that is a drop in the ocean of data collectors. He also makes strange bed fellows, such as frequently advocating for Fortnite, the game title which the FTC found to be deliberately tricking children into unwanted purchases, then killing their Fornite accounts in retaliation should they obtain a refund.¹ https://x.com/ThierryBreton/status/1766167580497117464 https://x.com/ThierryBreton/status/1766167580497117464 ¹ https://www.ftc.gov/news-events/news/press-releases/2023/03/ftc-finalizes-order-requiring-fortnite-maker-epic-games-pay-245-million-tricking-users-making https://www.ftc.gov/news-events/news/press-releases/2023/03/... Note this fine is finalised because Epic didn't challenge the FTC's claims.
