I still think @EUCommission 's #fines are not a real "#penalty"!

• Banning #Apple and/or jailing it's C-level in contempt until they comply would be.

After all, if I were to do the same shit [hypothetically, as a small and/or domestic business in the #EU] I'd soon face a judge dismantling my business as a "criminal enterprise" and stripping it for assets to pay damages, alongside confiscating any profits made.

• €500M sounds like a lot, but a #TrillionDollarCompany like Apple will just file these as "#losses" or "#OperationalCosts" in their #taxes and thus reduce their already low #tax bill even more.

Remember: If the penalty for a crime is a fine it's only illegal for the poor!

Guys, not gonna lie, I love the #European Digital Markets Act #DMA. It is so sweet and juicy when these #American privacy- and indentity-stealing complained get punished. Let’s hope for further steps.

Yet another reminder to #BuyEuropean.

Das Gejammer der Verlage kann ich echt nicht mehr nachvollziehen.
Gegen Werbung ist nix einzuwenden. Gegen Tracking aber sehr wohl.

https://www.ftm.eu/articles/ursula-von-der-leyens-five-secrets Five secret files Ursula von der #Leyen 's Commission does not want you to see.

Under the leadership of Ursula von der Leyen, the European Commission has become more secretive. Here are the top things it’s hiding from you.

In a rare appearance confronting her political adversaries, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen will defend her record in Maastricht today – but that doesn’t mean she’ll lay all her cards out in the open. #ursulavonderleyen #eucomission #eu #privacy #secrecy #politics #policy #ftm #followthemoney

Val, doncs ja li recordaràs… Aviam què ha passat al setembre: “Las cosas de palacio van despacio”…

Mentrestant, a mi m’agradaria que ens dediquéssin una trobada AMA. Què menys que ens expliquin per què hi ha tant desgavell amb aquest tema, no?

How do I complain to #EUComission about @Google
limiting my right to use Internet by refusing to deliver E-Mail I send from my own E-Mail server (set up complying with all the standards of usage of E-Mail protocols) to my therapist?

It is absolutely clear that this malpractice is in place to maintain oligopoly of @Google
, @Microsoft
and @Apple
when it comes to E-Mail delivery.

Indeed, @gmail
E-Mail addresses are easily the biggest source of SPAM mail my company receives.

If they wanted to fix SPAM, they'd work out a [non-intrusive wink-wink] way to track similarities between outbound E-Mails and ban consumer mailboxes that send out E-Mails that are too similar.

By the way, I'm not joking, I want to follow through and I have a legal department, but before engaging lawyers, I would like to have an approximate plan, that's why I turn to #twitterverse / #fediverse.

If you have experience in filing complaints to EU commission, hmu!
