Apple Fights $580 Million App Store Fine in Europe https://www.byteseu.com/1172712/ #AppStore #Apple #DigitalMarketsAct #Europe #EuropeanCommission #News #PYMNTSNews #regulations #What'sHot
So now that both #Apple and #Meta have formally appealed the #DMA fines that are just pocket money for them, can we please start calling those lawsuits for what they are: intimidation similar to #SLAPPs.
They are designed to bind public resources for years, which regulators will lack for enforcing the #DigitalMarketsAct, to intimidate civil servants in the @EUCommission, and to show us that #BigTech is above the law and that we are helpless.
Let's not be intimidated. #ResistBigTech
Apple presenta ricorso contro la multa di €500 milioni imposta dalla Commissione Europea per violazione del DMA. La sanzione riguarda:
Politiche anti-steering dell’App Store
Modifiche ai marketplace alternativi
Nuovi termini commerciali per sviluppatori

Wenn die #EU den #DigitalMarketsAct aufweicht, nur weil #Trump Druck macht, dann hat Europa verloren. Dann regieren #Microsoft, #Google und #Meta uns bald direkt. Der #DMA schützt uns vor Machtmissbrauch. Den dürfen wir nicht aufgeben. Nie. #EinfacheSprache
#Google presented their AI-based app review at #DMAWorkshop. Many apps are falsely flagged by #GooglePlay. Lots of trusted app developers built their reputation on free and open source software #Nextcloud #Signal #Thunderbird and more. These developers welcome more scrutiny on their source code. Why doesn't Google Play allow app developers to upload source code to provide more accurate reviews? How about requiring Google's own apps go through the same review?
@ilumium @GrapheneOS @article19 When I asked #Google a follow-up question using Google's own terminology, like #PlayIntegrity #GMS etc. their team of three competition lawyers brushed it aside saying they didn't understand the acronyms. They did not let me clarify. This is a classic example of the Google lawyers being conveniently #ignorant of the key details of things the Google Play team does that nicely props up their monopoly.
Donnerstag: Millionenurteil wegen Android-Daten, Twitter-Funktionen für Threads
Zahlungsforderung für Hintergrunddaten + Threads mit Direktnachrichten und Trends + Lexmark-Übernahme durch Xerox + Datenmissbrauch nach Notrufen + #heiseshow
#heiseshow: EU-Digitalgesetze, Bahn-Leitsystem, Windows-Bluescreen
In der #heiseshow: EU könnte Digitalgesetze für die USA aussetzen, die Bahn stellt ihr Leitsystem um und Windows verabschiedet sich vom blauen Bildschirm.

Given that technical details are key to many of the questions of #DMA enforcement, why doesn't #Alphabet include technical staff in these compliance workshops? It feels to me that they want to stick strictly to an evasive legal strategy rather than constructively engage with the technical community around #Android.
For the afternoon, we discuss how #Google complies with its #DMA obligation to not cross-use or combine user personal data across its services without consent.
Key question will be: Are Google's #consent screens compliant with #GDPR (which is explicitly referenced by the #DigitalMarketsAct)?
But first, Google will present....
A question to #Google about whether they could allowlist apps for sideloading they know to be legit. They punted and gave a weak attempt at a technical reason. They say their is a 100 million apps out there, so how could they ever? And malicious apps can impersonate the Application ID. Sure, true, but they could also allowlist based on all the signing keys, which cannot be simply faked and they already manage in #GooglePlay

Excellent online question by @GrapheneOS calling out #Google for selling "payment integrity" as security feature while using it to achieve vendor lock-in.
Google answer: None. Again. @article19's attempt to follow up was denied for sake of time.
Good morning from the #EuropeanCommission #DigitalMarketsAct compliance workshop on #Alphabet that is focused on things like #Google #search #browser choice #GooglePlay #Android and more.
