2 weeks ago, I went to Brussels together with the @OpenWebAdvocacy to ask Apple a couple of hard questions at the 7,5h long DMA workshop hearing, for the future of the open web.
Here's a summary of my thoughts on Apple's malicious DMA compliance, and a bunch of fun videos from Brussels:

And this is only for Apple's App Store “anti-steering” practices. Looks like more fines might be on the horizon.
Looks like my trips to Brussels are finally starting to come to fruition!

Been thinking the same. I am soooo disappointed in Apple.

For a multi-trillion dollar company that champions privacy at every given PR opportunity, Apple's swift acceptance + lack of resistance (in contrast to their fierce battles against anti-competitive regulations) shows that for 🍎 their profits are more important than your privacy.
At Cryptee we stand firm in our commitment to providing secure, encrypted storage solutions for everyone, without exceptions or backdoors.

A report delivered by a High-Level Group “#GoingDark” 🌑 promotes an ideology of maximum police access to data for surveillance purposes. Read our open letter reacting to these flawed EU policy recommendations and our offer for a brighter approach. ☀️
