    Big tech can go F itself.

    All big tech has done is stolen our data and lied to us for their own needs.

    Make all software FOSS

    There’s a rule banning “self-preferencing.” That’s when platforms push their often inferior, in-house products and hide superior products made by their rivals.

    Spaz isn’t going to like this.

    Apple’s going to fight all of this tooth and nail, country by country, to the end of time. Anything less and they risk a shareholder lawsuit.

    This is billions and billions of dollars we’re talking about, not chump change.

      Apple get get out of my face. In EU, it’s not even close as popular as in NA. I wouldn’t care if they stopped selling products here

        While I don’t like Apple losing them in the EU would be bad. Forcing them to open up their garden is way better.

        Less competition is bad for the consumer (usually). If they break laws though they must not sell in the EU.

    In general the article seems to be a summary of current legislative actions that are ongoing between big tech and EU. Though in the article it’s worded with the much more fitting ‘game of chicken between EU and Big Tech’ rather than something like the title, but I guess “drop dead has a better ring to it”…

    I general the article has a lightly optimistic tone, which I very deeply hope holds true.

    Wow, I can see Microsoft fighting this one tooth and nail. It’s basically their whole business model
