📣 Hey, @Google "disable" Google apps is not "uninstalling" them. You can't dodge the EU’s #DMA rules by redefining language.
👏 Thanks to @fsfe and allies, a complaint has been filed to stop this abuse and protect user freedom.

Is this a joke? Sure, you should build your own infrastructure, networks, and satellites to publish your content under your terms. This process, like others that we are promoting from alternative app stores, also seeks to guarantee interoperability between platforms/devices, the user right to decide the source of their apps and the way developers distribute them #deviceneutrality
We warned. The big tech companies will have to respect the rights of Europeans. This has only just begun "Apple in iOS 17 will for the first time allow iPhone users to download apps hosted outside of its official App Store" #dma#deviceNeutralitymacrumors.com/2023/04/17/app…
Sad but quite frequent in big techs. Apple's main task is to build walls. Did you know that no other app store can be published on Google Play? or any app that offers APKS or even mentions Uptodown?. Twitter, one more to join the anti-competition club #deviceneutrality
ormai tutti riconoscono che la gabella del 30% che Apple impone agli sviluppatori su qualunque transazione è un abuso intollerabile
8 anni fa quando ho cominciato il mio progetto di legge sulla #deviceneutrality, un celebre startupper italiano disse che ero un seminatore di odio
Apple continues to disadvantage competitors, and the impact is huge - on consumers, app developers, and now, authors and publishers. Without policymakers taking action, nothing will change. I can’t be the only one who sees the absurdity nytimes.com/2022/10/25/busin…
The Digital Services Act (DSA) passed with 539 votes in favour, 54 votes against and 30 abstentions on Tuesday. The Digital Markets Act (DMA) was adopted with 588 in favour, 11 votes against and 31 abstentions.
alè.
W #deviceneutrality!
POV: me asking Google/Apple why I can't install .. any app .. from any source .. on my OWN device .. [extended version] #deviceneutrality#freesoftware#dma
We’re making some changes to our #DeviceNeutrality FAQ "Why is device neutrality important?". Including the feedback we received from you via Twitter and Mastodon. What do you think we should cover? #freesoftwaredeviceneutrality.com/faq/
I feel sick. Apple just sent me an email saying they're removing my free game Motivoto because its more than 2 years old.
It's part of their App improvement system.
This is not cool. Console games from 2000 are still available for sale.
This is an unfair barrier to indie devs.
