Big Tech to EU: "Drop Dead"

The Electronic Frontier Foundation argues that Big Tech companies are resisting the EU's Digital Markets Act (DMA), which aims to give users more control over the software and services they use. The article says Apple's compliance plan falls well short of the regulation's goal of fostering app store competition, citing a €0.50 per-use "Core Technology Fee" and removal of developers who sell through rival stores. It says Meta's "Pay or Okay" system is prohibited under the DMA and GDPR, and that the DMA's fines could reach 10 percent of a company's global income, rising to 20 percent for noncompliance.
