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."

Gar keine schlechte Idee. Werbung für die EU in der Kneipe mit Bierdeckel. Der Link geht zu https://europa.eu/de/demokratie
(Ich bereite mich dann schon mal auf die "Ja, aber" Antworten vor die sagen werden das man sehr wohl auch hier für Volksverhetzung etc bestraft werden kann.)

In varietate concordia [1]
12 stars that mean the world to me. An ongoing experiment to create and maintain a transnational union of different countries, cultures and expectations. Always on the move, full of lessons learned from mistakes made. Far from perfect, but also far from being a failure. A continouous demand on all of us to make things better and to overcome the nay-sayers that focus on problems, not solutions. #ThanksEU

Good news :)
The European Commission @EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu now lists #Mastodon as first social media channel in their page footer [1] (The Twitter/X logo is now gone ;). And on the EU website you can now filter for Mastodon social media accounts [2].
