@EU_Commission Great to hear!

I hope enforcement for the DMA will be stronger than for the GDPR (still waiting for a GDPR complaint I sent in in 2021 to be dealt with properly), you'll need strong enforcement against companies who will try malicious compliance and other backhanded tricks to make the DMA toothless.

Like whay Apple has started doing with their "core platform fees" to make alternative app stores unviable and attempts to discredit the DMA like open-web-advocacy.org/blog/its

@EU_Commission OK, but will you solve the Core Technology Fee that Apple imposed to all the devs who want to break the monopoly? If not, what a law 😕

@EU_Commission and then it gets worse as Facebook creates a paid subscription service for avoiding the law and Apple kills apps and avoids following the rules. Steam Corporate the biggest gaming platform continues to break laws and now there’s almost nowhere else to get games because Xbox and PS5 give up. The law needs to update.
