The outcome of the dma is better served by breaking up the companies so that google cannot share data with YouTube or facebook with Whatsapp.
The EU regulations so far did not achieve much (other than eradicating EU ads market) , and the YC knows that.
They want to distract the government away from breaking up bigtech and towards an anodyne (but annoying) regulation.
- raverbashing 2y agoSo, when was the last time a company was split by the SEC or such? I can only think of older examples (Boeing, AT&T, etc) What I think regulators are seeing is that they split, wait a bit then merge all over again, negating that effect And I agree about the GDPR, though the DMA seems to have had bigger effects (including preventing EU from getting the wet dud known as Apple Intelligence - I guess we can recognize this was a cop-out from Apple for a poor product instead of an actual hurdle)
- patrickmcnamara 2y agoThe DMA does make it so you can unlink your Google account from your YouTube account, or your Facebook account from your Instagram account, and that they can't share data. Or what are you meaning?
