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 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

@EUCommission Es wäre nett, wenn ihr wirklich dafür sorgt, dass die US-Tech-Riesen die Marktanteile behalten, sondern die Strafen auch durchsetzt und nicht vor dem orangen Clown einknickt. Das geld ist in der Softwareindustrie in Europa gut angelegt.

@EUCommission Il cazzo! WhatsApp e le altre app di messaggistica non sono ancora interoperabili, Google fa ancora quello che vuole con i nostri telefoni e Microsoft non ha ancora imparato il significato di privacy. Ci vuole il pugno duro. Duro come quello di Ferrus Manus!

@EUCommission may you be measured by your actions, not your words. Unless you actually realize these fines, this is all just smoke and mirrors 👎

@EUCommission Why is the fine to Google still blocked? And what does the commission mean when they say they are in dialogue with the US about European digital laws? Since when do Americans have a say about what our digital rights should be?

@EUCommission "Fined major platforms for anti-competitive practices and ignoring consumer data choices" Really? Didn't von der Leyen block some? It makes one feel American Corporations are more important than Citizens.

@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.

@EUCommission The era of unchecked tech monopolies has only just begun, with you and #vonDerLeyen taking "decisive action" and blocking #DMA sanctions for Google.The sheer audacity of your bragging with such an obvious lie.https://www.openmarketsinstitute.org/publications/orgs-express-grave-concern-about-von-der-leyens-reported-google-backdown

@EUCommission 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.

@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.

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.Journalists recently asked about this at our press briefing, you can watch the full answer back here: https://audiovisual.ec.europa.eu/en/media/video/I-289037

@EUCommission Stop your gaslighting.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.

@EUCommission @brnrd Let's distill that:"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".

@EUCommission Good to see the steps being taken. Keep up the great work. 😇Just a small note: fining these companies does nothing to them. They stop or hide these activities for sometime and then raise the ugly head in even bad manner.

@EUCommission While I appreciate this, the sentence "ignoring consumer data choices" is funny while we are forcing sensitive data to be exposed via #IDVerification Fighting monopolies is one thing, but shall be done properly.One example would be Valve's Steam store. It is rather a monopoly and even most Valve fans agree on this, however, it has little to no competition. Other provide less features & worse experience.So we shall embrace competition than just blindly "fight" monopolies.
