> What if I claim need your data in a particular form in order to “interoperate” with you? Oh. Malicious compliance is an art form. Just look at GDPR. Doesn't mean that interoperability is somehow hard. > Are the flaws in this regulation not blindingly obvious to everyone in this community? Am I going mad here? You'd go much less mad if you read the regulation in question which I doubt you have. As a rule, the madder a person is about some EU regulation, the less likely they are to have read it. Or you could read "A comprehensive overview of the Data Act, including its objectives and how it works in practice." https://digital-strategy.ec.europa.eu/en/factpages/data-act-explained https://digital-strategy.ec.europa.eu/en/factpages/data-act-... Instead you rely on media headlines and misinterpretations. (Note: I haven't read the act yet, but I've yet to see an act people are in arms about that doesn't actually answer most questions in the text of the act itself or in the accompanying documents)
