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.
