FSF Europe condemns Apple's DMA noncompliance

Date:
Fri, 28 Jun 2024 14:37:05 +0000

Description:
The Free Software Foundation Europe has submitted a joint position to the European Commission (EC), claiming that Apple
has failed to comply with the EU's Digital Markets Act (DMA). This is the law that requires Apple to support alternative application stores on the devices
it
makes. Apple's unfair behaviour against Free Software highlights the critical need to
monitor the implementation of the DMA. The FSFE collaborated with F-Droid, the AppFair project, and other interoperability experts to scrutinize Apple's DMA compliance, and it's impact on Free Software. Since then, we coordinated several
expert workshops with stakeholders, discussed with regulators in FOSDEM , had official meetings with the EC's DMA team , and submitted a comprehensive position to the EC detailing several problematic elements in the Apple compliance that
will harm the Free Software.
