The FSFE :fsfe:, with 40+ civil society organisations, signed an open letter coordinated by @EDRi urging the @European Commission to not be intimidated by threats against a vigorous Digital Markets Act enforcement. For instance, #Apple has taken an aggressive position against the #DMA, litigating against the EC in a case we are intervening. DMA is crucial to stop and prevent monopolistic practices. It represents an important step for #DeviceNeutrality and #SoftwareFreedom https://edri.org/eu-resist-big-tech-bullying-open-letter-jan-2025/
