When the DSA and DMA were passed in 2022, major tech industry associations praised the new laws as significant achievements.

As the EU’s new flagship tech laws, the Digital Services Act and the Digital Markets Act, are coming into full application, Big Tech is working hard to shoot them down. As of today, the Digital Markets Act (DMA) becomes fully applicable, following its counterpart the Digital Services Act (DSA) on 17 February.

However, as the EU’s new tech laws are coming into full application, tech corporations like Apple, Amazon, Meta and TikTok are already undermining them at every turn. To subvert these new regulations, tech corporations have filed a number of lawsuits against the European Commission and attempted to weaken the rules with malicious compliance that protects their profits at the expense of their users.

    Not so sure, to be fair Apple is in compliance with everything right now :)

    What Apple did isn’t illegal as per DMA, they carefully studied the requirements and made sure they were in compliance without losing control. There’s no law breaking here, there’s simply a poorly written DMA. Now the right question to ask is: was the DMA poorly written by mistake or… did Apple and others made sure it was written the way it is?
