"Regulatory burdens and uncertainty are delaying our launch of new products, like our latest AI features, by up to a year after they launch in the rest of the world."

The AI features cause the same problems they are claiming the DMA creates...

Yes, time for a reset. A reset of all the influence foreign companies have on my country! It is many the times I have daydreamed of seizing their assets and pushing them out... Goodbye Apple, goodbye Google!

I just can't see it being allowed by Washington.
MBCook•39m ago
Oh of course Google is pushing this too. I thought Apple was dumb to push this, makes more sense as a multilateral thing.

I’m sure the EU won’t take a dim view of this at all.

“Senator, we’d like racketeering laws repealed. They’re making running Pete ruin rackets much harder. How are we supposed to innovate for our customers if you keep making new kinds of threats illegal?”

The issue with DMA is that the laws are very vague and appear to forbid basically any private API calls between products if your business is big. You basically need to turn every one of your systems into an AWS service; and then on top of that not favor your own system over those registered by competitors. This is supposed to level the playing field but making and maintaining public APIs like this is tons of work in terms of coordination and so stuff really does take a lot longer to build for EU to meet the requirements; or to confirm that it somehow doesn’t need to be a public API.

The biggest corporations complaining? What a coincidence.

Something says to me that DMA is working as intended.

Only two companies in the EU able to sell mobile software seems like a great idea

The EU should tell Goggle to go take a long walk off a short dock.

>The DMA’s biggest challenge remains: How do we boost innovation and deliver cutting-edge products to Europe while navigating complex and untested new rules?

Why should Europe want to cave to Goggle's desire to deepen its clawhold on Europe's market? To help it extend its monopoly deep into the rest of civilization?

Off topic but can we acknowledge how insane it is that Google gets its own TLD?
HPsquared•5m ago
You too could have your own TLD.

If only the US had some kind if law to limit the power of a single company over markets a broad as "information services"

I mean, they paid for it.

The fact that companies like Google are complaining (while pretending like they’re looking out for consumers - which is unsavory) is a great signal indicator that this is going to disrupt monopolistic / anti-consumer business practice's. Good.

Reset is the right word. Break-up these mega corps that naturally have become extractive to the point they themselves starting to rot. If "break-up" is too strong, call it a "reset".

DMA was as n intentional evil. Nothing but moral condemnation can repeal it.
