They should rephrase it to a profit concern, which is really what it's all about, after all, more options and competition on a level playing field, less potential profits for Apple. But honestly for Apple, the red flags were there with that putting their own services ahead of others or by not even allowing rival services to compete with Apple's own products, that alone is reason enough for governments to go after them.

@@gorilipuant No need to think about it lmao, it's the most obvious thing that even a total moron could guess: profits and accountability, typical capitalism bullshit. The EU's laws will undoubtedly reduce these companies' profits and they demand these corporations take accountibility for what happens on their platforms. The start-ups know that the US government which doesn't give a single fuck about their population besides how much money they can get from them will let them milk Americans with immoral practices forever. Apple especially is bitter because they're really the only ones that try to make an "ecosystem" for their products with any success and this allows them to control their users' choices in several key areas like using a cable that has been overshadowed by newer technology for nearly a decade and the EU's laws are basically forcing Apple to invest in newer, better technologies, which are expensive.

COMMON EU WWWWWWWWW

Big tech saying this will increase security risks is the same thing as commercials on streaming services telling you that illegal streaming would reveal your private data to criminals. Nice try Bro. Maybe next time.

I am currently studying this act and many others in my law school at Stockholm University. Cool to see a video about it :)

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 well done EU !!! Protecting the consumers. US should do the same.

I love that tech, GAFAM and user's rights are being covered here! Apple allowed other stores indeed, but they made it so difficult/pricey to use that it won't change anything as is 😕

If this act only targets these six companies, then it is a bit of an unfair disatvantage. Also it makes a big difference if they have to retroactively change legacy devices to suit this act. A few examples: will windows 10 allow me to uninstal edge, maybe even stop being a spyware; will the customers be able to strip xiaomi phones from their bloatware and atop the mandatory ads? That's the whole business model behind these software solutions.

Great format!

More freedom in choices is always good

The DMA will make a great impact and the brussels effect will bring it to other places in the world. Nothing new for Microsoft though (hint: Browser and Windows).

OMG YES! We finally will be able to debloat our phones without rooting. (In the same breath I must say that rooting should not be anything what the user have to do, you should get root out of the factory.)

From what I know is that iPhones aren't that popular in Europe. And where they are popular like Switzerland and UK aren't even in the EU.

Will these actions severe Euro-American relations?

Regulation of foreign tech companies. Thats our niche, EU cannot set up any high tech company to compete with Americans. If so, any regulations would not be necessary because there would not be any monopoly, but national protectionism is too strong to create a common services market. So sad, we are the past, USA and China are the future.

That's not true, there are a lot of high-tech companies in the EU, just that most are specialist companies that most of us are not aware of because they are not the kind of companies that are in your face like Microsoft, Google and so on. Besides, this isn't regulating foreign tech companies, this is regulating all companies, regardless of where they come from, which the EU regulates far more EU companies then it does foreign ones. We should also remember that it doesn't actually matter where companies are from, if you want to do business in a given market, you have to follow the rules, the big players like the EU, US and China to a less degree can dictate terms because of how big their markets are and how many companies want to do business in those markets. You know what is really sad about all this, you can have an American pharmaceutical that charges 10 times more for a product to a US consumers then it does to an EU consumer, you have to ask yourself, how the hell is that even possible? That's the power of regulations doing right by its citizens, after all, with weak regulations, companies will screw you over, regardless of where the company is from, but with tougher regulations, it makes it much harder for them to do that, companies only care about profit, and they rather make some then none at all, especially in big markets, because of that, Europeans can get better deals in some areas then Americans can, even from American companies. As for the US, that wild west approach to business just means more wealth heading into fewer hands, which could lead to a Blade Runner like future where corporations rules, even over governments, none of that is in the interest of American citizens, after all, the US is already one of the most unequal countries in the developed world.
