For Apple, the DMA is impacting many parts of our EU users’ experience on our products — from how they download apps and make app payments, to how their Apple products work together.
Over the past few months, the European Commission — which is responsible for the DMA — has asked for more feedback from companies and EU citizens about the law’s effects. So we wanted to update Apple users in the EU on the changes they’ve started to see, and what they can expect in the future.
We call on the Commission to ensure that future enforcement is user-driven, fact-based, consistent and clear. We should have a single-minded focus on benefitting European businesses and consumers and ensuring that they benefit from high-quality products and services. DMA compliance should improve digital markets, not come at the expense of security, integrity, quality or usefulness.
The imperialist technocracy is officially at war with the European Commission. I guess it’s better to comply with the decrees of authoritarian regimes than the laws of the largest democratic federation in the world. (Also.)
