Since it has gotten some beating recently (in particular from #Apple fanboys), I've written something about the #DigitalMarketsAct for @EDRi and how things are going at this front: #DMA #competition #antitrust #bigtech #marketpower
Mmmm, how much I love high-speed #rail travel. #trains image

Yay looks like the @European Commission and #EDPB have taken a rather clear joint position: #PayOrConsent is unlawful for gatekeepers under #DMA and #GDPR. Hello #Meta πŸ‘‹ πŸ“„.pdf #privacy #DataProtection #gatekeepers #PayorOK
Sounds like Tech Commissioner #Virkkunen is trying to reassure critics in the #EU on #DSA + #DMA enforcement: β€œI have been working all the time on these topics. But of course, people, they have very different personal styles, I think,” she told #Politico. β€œIt’s important to stay calm, even if there are different kinds of attacks against this legislation,... We are fully enforcing the rules all the time and everybody can be ensured on that.” β€œOur rules are not part of trade negotiations.”
Unpopular opinion: #JensSpahn and the German #CDUCSU don't oppose #ChatControl because of our #civilsociety pressure but because the far-right #noAfD opposes it as well.
