The biggest threat to #NetNeutrality is the fact that big technology companies use their control over the “middle layers” (stores and operating systems) as a way to control network use and access to third-party information and services.

Big Tech is dropping $36 million to mislead and scare Congress about bipartisan and popular reforms that would ensure a fair digital marketplace. It’s time to pass the #OpenAppMarketsAct and to hold #BigTech accountable. wsj.com/articles/big-tech-ha…

The Commission will be prepared to act against any violations made by “gatekeepers” — a classification that includes Meta, Apple, Google, Microsoft, and Amazon — #dma #deviceneutrality

We have the tools at our disposal to promote a free, fair & competitive app marketplace and to debunk unfounded security claims from tech giants looking to maintain their monopoly. Developers deserve a chance to compete. Pleased to work with @appfairness

Even after purchase, customers do not really own their devices. They are not able to do what they want with their very own devices. If you cannot install the software you want on your own device – you don’t own it. #deviceneutrality

Connected services as well as the software on connected devices and applications must offer interoperability and full functionality of a device's initial purpose with the use of Open Standards. #deviceneutrality

The 30% gets so much focus, but this is the real problem with the App Store. Until Apple allows alternate means of distribution, they shouldn’t reject any apps except for malware/scams. Who cares if only 10 people find it useful, or it’s the 100th entry in a crowded category?

my #deviceneutrality proposal, blocked by lobbies at the very final vote after being voted with unanimity in all committees and lower house (you should remember) has been taken on by the Commission and become a cornerstone of the DMA. Excellent news!

Apple has proven that there is a safe way to allow apps outside of their store with the Mac and it has led to better software for consumers…

These companies – which control stores, devices, and entire platforms – have progressively widened the gap between users and technology. This has resulted in the degradation of the information access value chain, which is increasingly used to impose their services.
