Just shipping goods through the UK does not make them UK-origin. They have to have a "substantial transformation".

Yeah, I'm more talking about the credit card discrimination specifically. I have an Apple account for Ireland that I can't add my German credit card to. Although I would love the EU to enforce a singular EU media distribution regi

The EU is somewhat trying to kill this at least. It is very annoying. https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/es/ip_24_...

Trains at my U-Bahn station are as frequent as every two/three mins sometimes. There is no "the train they should be on".

This is such an insane lens to view life from.

The app has been half-broken for a lot of this year too, and I guess this explains that.

Clearly we did have a problem.

Do people actually call the Sun "Sol"? I thought that was more of a video game thing.

This isn't excessive at all. Making it easy to unsubscribe from things is totally reasonable to regulate in any world.

The signs are not in English.

Sorry for the late reply, but these are rules from the CTIA, not the FCC that I am referring to. The CTIA being an industry body for telecoms in US.

Oh, just a billion? Why not 100 billion while we're at it?

For short codes in the USA, it technically does not have to be. And in fact businesses have to regularly check for requests even like "please don't send me messages" to be compliant.

> the eight-year-old General Data Protection Regulation Wow. It's actually only been enforced for six years but that time absolutely flew by.

Android is already pretty open tbf so I don't think the EU would do anything. Those other three don't meet the 45 million users requirements.

What's the argument here? If it is possible for something to be corrupt it shouldn't exist and should be replaced?

Regulatory accelerationism. I never thought it would come from Apple.

Their vision being that they should be able to extract money from all activity on an iPhone?

The wording of the whole press release is hilarious. The tone is so petulant and odd for such a large company haha.
