As the EU’s new flagship tech laws, the Digital Services Act and the Digital Markets Act, are coming into full application, Big Tech is working hard to shoot them down. As of today, the Digital Markets Act (DMA) becomes fully applicable, following its counterpart the Digital Services Act (DSA) on 17 February.

However, as the EU’s new tech laws are coming into full application, tech corporations like Apple, Amazon, Meta and TikTok are already undermining them at every turn. To subvert these new regulations, tech corporations have filed a number of lawsuits against the European Commission and attempted to weaken the rules with malicious compliance that protects their profits at the expense of their users.

    The EU better start dropping the hammer or this pathetic cat and mouse game of malicious compliance will continue.

    Let them try. They can probably delay it for maybe a year, but they absolutely will get fined 10% of global revenue.

    Would also be nice if some of them started to suck so much on purpose, that other tech companies would gain traction.
