    It’s lobbying but they’re right. It’s not just their problem but consumers problem too. I hope EU handles this so that intent of the law prevails.

      The DMA does not protect consumers. It protects other companies that sell products within the gatekeeper’s market.

      Both Meta and Microsoft have apps on iPhone and therefore the DMA is designed to protect those two companies. If they’re not happy with the level of protection, they should absolutely tell the EU.

        DSA and DMA limit the way big players can abuse their dominant positions. They let smaller companies get a foothold in fortresses of tech giants. They enforce interoperability. Consumers benefit from those in plenty of ways.
