RE: https://mastodon.social/@fsfe/116754296070322005
We submitted our position to the @EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu's public consultation on #DMA #AI #interoperability in #Android.
Among other points, we highlighted that access to interoperability should not be tied to *any kind* of verification scheme.
No registration, nor authorisation, nor any contractual relationships with #Google must be a prerequisite to access features in Android. @keepandroidopen@techhub.social

Ah, yes. #ThanksEU :)
"Apple was simply unable to develop interoperability solutions that meet essential EU privacy and security standards," EU Commission spokesperson Thomas Regnier said.
"Instead of trying to find a suitable compliance solution, Apple simply made a request to the European Commission to be exempted from their interoperability obligations under the DMA - and this for at least 18 months. That's not an option."

Your phone should not be a closed box.
We told Google it must open Android to other AI providers.
We now invite you to comment on our draft measures in a public consultation by 13 May 2026.
Under the Digital Markets Act, we ensure you – not big tech – decide which tools to use. This protects innovation in all EU countries and promotes digital freedom.
Help us hold platforms accountable and make the digital world fairer, and more open for everyone ↓
