The era of unchecked tech monopolies is over.
We're taking decisive action to enforce open, fair, and contestable digital markets. Our measures had real consequences:
️ Fined major platforms for anti-competitive practices and ignoring consumer data choices
Required strict hardware interoperability for smartwatches and connected wearables
️ Launched three investigations into dominance in cloud services and into search engines hiding mediaAccountability is here
https://link.europa.eu/YTddh6@EUCommission Google is still silently opting people into stuff without informing us. Just opted out of personalised advertising *again*.
No, I don't want their unannounced Discovery service. I certainly didn't want to be served ads for dating sites, FFS. -

The sheer audacity of your bragging with such an obvious lie.

@EUCommission I fully support the DMA! Let's keep up the good work and make that we fully enforce effective laws like this. There is still so much to be done
Thanks for the support, @eighthave
Good to have you here! -

I knew nothing about the google situation, but my gut instinct when reading this post was "LOL sure you are.".Guess my gut feeling was correct.
The only decisive action you can take to stop corporate takeover is not performed with a pen and paper.
We've moved beyond the times of strongly worded letters and punitive fines, and in to the times of civil disobedience as a public service. -

https://link.europa.eu/YTddh6@EUCommission hum so when will you do force your own member state to allow their app to run on grapheneos for instance ?
Because today your own member state enforce the Google / Apple monopolie, and bank do EXACTLY the same.

https://link.europa.eu/YTddh6@EUCommission Decisive action? Like the one to stop the fines Google clearly needs to play? Until there's a full disclosure about von der Leyen's action here, I won't believe another thing you proclaim regarding the DMA.

https://link.europa.eu/YTddh6@EUCommission Did you cancel your festering MS365 ulcers yet?

@EUCommission If that is true, why did von der Leyen stop a penalty against Google?
Hello @atarifrosch!
We want to have solid cases that can stand up in the courts, and this can lead to delays. We do not stop cases for political reasons. You can read more about how the DMA is enforced here: https://digital-markets-act.ec.europa.eu/about-dma_en -

Hello @katzenberger!
The European Commission does not block or delay cases for political reasons. When a case is technically ready and solid enough to stand in court, the Commission adopts a decision.

@EUCommission how are we to see this when a 1.6bln fine on Google has been "cancelled" by the commision?

@EUCommission Please do something about the Apple/Google phone monopoly and how important apps won’t work on anything but locked down Apple/Google controlled phones

This non-statement has been widely circulated already, and it does absolutely nothing to clarify the situation. On the contrary, it's just a thin "trust us" reply, with vague weasel words that don't convey any substantial information.
And no: many Europeans don't trust you.
For very good reasons. -

They are even setting up formats in which the US gets a *say* on these matter.
Plus, they declared war on human rights, our democratic rights, health, the climate and environment, plus treasonously collaborating with the fascistic Trump terror syndicate and their donors Thiel et al.
They're lying every bit as brazenly and recklessly as Trump and Putin.

"We are not canceling the fine because it is still an active case. We do not talk about active cases."Which translates to "We canceled the fine and we won't talk about it".
