👀 Very interesting and enthusiastic decision from Autoriteit Consument & Markt | ACM that reinforces the need for #Apple to comply soon with its #DMA obligations. It's time to end the #AppleStoreTax

Confirmation from our scoop last week that Apple is challenging the EU's Digital Markets Act #DMA: Read Bloomberg: bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

The #DMA stands to revolutionize the mobile app ecosystem for thousands of European businesses and millions of European consumers, but gatekeepers need to comply. Apple's proposal does nothing to enhance fairness and competition in the digital market – learn more ⬇️

For all the #DigitalMarketsAct geeks out there, we made it to meme central 🫡

Almost 5 years later..it's #TimeToPlayFair for Apple in the EU. Next up - #DigitalMarketsAct rules kicking in on March 7 for all app store gatekeepers 📱

🚨 🍎 Ahead of 7 March, René Repasi Paul Tang and I have serious concerns about Apple’s proposed solution to comply with the #DMA DMA must ensure contestability&fairness of digital markets, not be another way for gatekeepers to set their own rules to the detriment of competitors 👇

34 companies + associations = 1 concern. The deadline for compliance with the DMA is next week. Alongside EU companies and associations like SchibstedGroup and Proton we've sent a letter to the EC raising concerns about Apple’s lack of compliance. spoti.fi/3IfXP7b

Apple, in front of senators and lawmakers: Too much regulation and taxes hinder the capacity of businesses to innovate and thrive. Apple, managing its App Stores: Heavily taxes and regulates all businesses, while claiming it's a great place to innovate and thrive. 🙃

Hey, what did you expect 🍸 #apple #antitrust

So Sunak has called a general election for July 4. Below are the bills still in parliament that will have to pass by dissolution on May 30. Some have quite a way to go, and some will prove very contentious. We may see quite a few dropped in the coming days. #generalelection

The United Kingdom has the opportunity to put its consumers and its app developer community at the leading edge of digital history by putting the app store monopolies on the trash heap of history!

It’s time to get the Digital Markets bill done!

BREAKING: UK Parliament has passed the Digital Markets Competition and Consumers Bill - a major win in the worldwide fight to rein in the abusive practices of mobile app gatekeepers. 🇬🇧 🇬🇧 🇬🇧

Gotta give it up for the French. They reel us in, put everybody on the edge of their seats, then wow everyone with a totally unexpected result. Estimates showing the LEFT winning, Macron’s party placing second and Le Pen’s far right in third place.

Excited to be at The Labour Party #Lab24 next week! Join us on Tuesday morning for an important conversation with Maggie Jones Lucy Rigby KC MP and The New Statesman about competitive, fair growth in the UK digital economy #appfairness 📱
