Sorry, my mistake. DMA. However, it runs counter to the definition of antitrust law, that is the law that applies to the trust or a monopoly, an entity that controls the market. DMA instead applies to the companies of certain size, regardless whether they have market control or not.
- wmf 4mo agoIt's a matter of interpretation. From the DMA's perspective, the iPhone is a market and thus Apple has a monopoly on that market. Likewise they consider MS to have monopoly control of the Windows market.
- viktorcode 4mo agoThat reinterpretation would have make Apple a monopoly and thus other anti-trust laws would apply, which did not happen. As I said: they are introducing new category, the gatekeepers, for the sole purpose of making the law applicable.
