Enforcing the #DMA could consolidate #interoperability as a foundational policy for #Europe’s digital #infrastructure."

What has the #DigitalMarketsAct delivered so far – and what comes next for a fairer digital environment in Europe? 🧐
These are some of the questions raised at the last @article19 DMA Symposium, now being explored in a new series of texts that will be published on Tech Policy Press.
#FreeSoftware will not be off-stage. We’ll soon share our own perspective on how the DMA enforcement affects Free Software and smaller developers — stay tuned! 💪
#Google and #Apple jointly work on enabling #DataPortability between devices to comply with the EU's #DigitalMarketsAct.

It's a bit annoying how many news outlets just parrot the @EUCommission and #Meta line today that the latter is now going to offer a "less personalised" version of #Facebook and #Instagram using "less personal data" in order to comply with the #DigitalMarketsAct.
Have they actually read the Regulation?
