The #EU 's decision to classify #Apple as a #gatekeeper under the #DigitalMarketsAct is the right decision towards more openness and choice of the #iOS platform!

I — an #Android developer that is interested in #multiplatform development via #KMP — am looking forward to a future where I can easily sideload my small & free apps on iOS devices & distribute them through other stores w/o having to pay 100USD/year for an Apple dev account that I otherwise don't need.

#Europe #EuropeanCommission #DMA

Ecco i #gatekeeper (soggetti in posizione dominante) per il #DMA, la legge europea sui mercati digitali:

- social network: TikTok, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn

- piattaforme intermediazione: Google Maps, Play, Shopping, Amazon Marketplace, iOS App Store, Meta Marketplace

- ads delivery systems: Google, Amazon and Meta

- browser: Chrome, Safari

- OS: Android, iOS, Windows;

- messaging: WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger

- search engine: Google

- video sharing: YouTube

#EU #UE

"In addition, the #EU Commission has concluded that, although #Gmail, #Outlook.com and #SamsungInternetBrowser meet the thresholds under the DMA to qualify as a #gatekeeper, #Alphabet, #Microsoft
and #Samsung provided sufficiently justified arguments showing that these services do not qualify as gateways for the respective core platform services. [...] It follows that Samsung is not designated as gatekeeper with respect to any core platform service."

"The #DMA uses several criteria to determine whether a company and its service should be designated as a #gatekeeper, including whether a company has an annual turnover of over €7.5 billion (around $8 billion) in #Europe and a market cap of over €75 billion (around $80.5 billion), and whether a service has over 45 million monthly active users in the #EU."

Another one from #Hale village.
This is a hedge brown, or #gatekeeper #butterfly.
And yes, it was near to a gate.

The #BigButterflyCount may have finished yesterday but no-one told the butterflies; #HollyBlue, #SpeckledWood, #Gatekeeper and many #LargeWhites today. And then this afternoon I narrowly avoided standing on two magnificent #ElephantHawkMoth caterpillars. (Now relocated to a new safer patch of willowherb where I promptly found a 3rd even larger #caterpillar and, I think, a caterpillar poo!)

It's a busy morning at the mint fly-through restaurant

Ich finde ja, das #Kartellrecht sollte #Zusammenschlüsse über einer gewissen Grösse unter allen Umständen verbieten. Insbesondere #Gatekeeper sollten keine Unternehmen übernehmen können, die ihre Platform nutzen.

Nicht wegen DSGVO: Threads wohl wegen Digital Markets Act nicht in EU verfügbar

Während Dutzende Millionen in aller Welt Threads ausprobieren, ist die EU offiziell ausgesperrt. Verantwortlich ist nicht die DSGVO, sondern offenbar der DMA.

It’s been a wonderful couple of days butterfly spotting #InMyGarden with nine different species visiting us. Newest arrivals are Pararge Aegeria - Speckled Wood - flitting in and out of the shade. And my favourite Pyronia tithonus - the Gatekeeper - with its double eyespots patrolling the hedges in the firey heat of the summer. Pyrotechnic…

Ho installato #Threads, la risposta di #Meta a #Twitter, su un device #Android, per vedere l'estensione del suo tracciamento utenti

Nessuna sorpresa: traccia tutto il possibile, compresi i dati dell'accelerometro

Btw, i contenuti sono organizzati come di consueto da algoritmi e si presenta a prima vista come un frappè Twitter/#Instagram

Speriamo che abbia successo così da rientrare tra i #Gatekeeper #DMA 🙃

▶️ The real problem is the staggering dependency of online #journalism on corporate social media platforms to reach their audience and the loss of massive amounts of ad revenue that is sucked up by #adtech middlemen for supposedly well-targeted #tracking #advertising. It’s the classic #gatekeeper problem: The harms inflicted by these gatekeepers to our attention can be directly measured by the loss in independence of—and income for—the very same #FreePress that #EMFA is supposed to protect. [5/8]

@tchambers @fediversenews Maybe #Meta is smart enough to comply with its #DigitalMarketsAct obligations in the #EU early (should #Threads ever be launched there).

Art 6(9) #DMA: "The #gatekeeper shall provide end users and third parties authorised by an end user, at their request and free of charge, with effective #portability of data provided by the end user or generated through the activity of the end user in the context of the use of the relevant core platform service [...]."

Esempio pratico di cosa comporta essere un #gatekeeper per il #digital #markets #act?

#Apple dovrà permettere download e installazione di #app #iOS senza obbligo di passare dall'#appstore

In altri termini il #sideloading sarà obbligatorio, con dei bei danni economici per #Apple e altrettanti vantaggi potenziali per gli utenti

(è probabile che per difendere il #gatekeepin Apple impedirà questa possibilità agli utenti extra #ue

#EU #GAFAM #DMA #diritti

#Alphabet, #Amazon, #Apple, #ByteDance, #Meta, #Microsoft e #Samsung sono potenziali #gatekeeper per il #Digital #Markets #act dell'#EU, cioè società che hanno una posizione dominante e di minaccia alla concorrenza

Ai gatekeeper verranno applicate norme stringenti per evitare abusi e permettere una concorrenza più aperta

Entro il 6 marzo 2024 dovranno applicare le misure che li riguardano
