| Apple attacks new EU law Says it will not be in its users' interest Apple CEO Tim Cook said that he believes a proposed European law known as DMA would "not be in the best interest of users," signalling the iPhone maker's opposition to European legislation that would force it to allow users to install software outside of Apple's App Store. Cook said that there are some good parts to the EU tech regulation, but there others that are not in the best interests of the user. You can trust Cook to know what is in the best interests of the user, he thinks demanding a third of app store profits are particularly good for the user. The European Union proposed two laws regulating big tech companies, the Digital Services Act and the Digital Markets Act, earlier this year. The DSA focuses on the online ad industry, but the DMA focuses on companies with large numbers of customers -- like Apple, Google and Amazon -- and sets rules requiring them to open up their platforms to competitors. One of Cook's issues with the law is that it would force Apple to permit sideloading apps on the iPhone, which is manually installing software from the internet or a file instead of through an app store. https://fudzilla.com/news/53067-appl...cks-new-eu-law |
