F-Droid blog post about Google's and Apple's (non)compliance with the EU's DMA

https://f-droid.org/en/2025/09/18/ec-dma-compliance-workshops.html

I found this post quite interesting. While i already knew a few things its interesting to get a look at how scummy these companies behave at public events hosted by the European Comission.

Not surprising, considering the EU doesn't even adhere to their own regulations.

The Google and Apple lawyers seemed to share the tactic of just running out the time as much as possible. They went overtime on their presentations, which were largely marketing speech and fluffy statements. They gave long winded answers which adeptly avoided actually answering the questions that were posed. “Malicious compliance” seems to be the Big Tech game plan here.

and they wonder why lawyers are hated.

Scheiße ist das kompliziert. Google, Amazon, Meta und Co haben zu viel Macht. Ohne sie kann ich nicht mal mehr meine Bankgeschäfte machen. Sie ignorieren das, nein sie wollen ja genau diese Abhängigkeit und fördern sie darum, und das alles kurz vor voller Kontrolle durch #Trump. Ich bin schockiert und ratlos.
