Important step in the enforcement of the Digital Markets Act: The EU Commission today announced the 22 platform services that will have to comply with the DMA from March 2024.
Until then, the Commission must ensure that sufficient staff are available for enforcement and that third parties are actively involved. Only then can the #DMA be a success!
In the many discussions about #threads promise to add #activitypub support, regulations such as the #DMA and the #DSA, as well as the Canadian Online News Act have come up.
In this piece I dive deep into the specific articles of the Acts to see if they might impact Meta's decision making.
So for some reason a well-known US tech blogger thinks it is better to have a data collecting monster launching a new app than a government that at least tries to protect its citizens privacy and rights. And somehow he also thinks going to libraries is an insult to people?
This might be one of THE worst takes an US tech bro did for a while.
Actors #naming in EU laws:
"The end user and recipient of the service are both natural and legal persons using a certain service. However, the #DSA recipient of the service can be a person acting in a personal or commercial/professional capacity whereas the #DMA end user can only be a person acting in a personal capacity."
