“We are not a fining machine,” said a @European Commission official, when asked about the timeline for making decisions on ongoing #DSA cases.

What a timing: while I'm sitting at a #CloudAbolition workshop, #AWS takes down major centralised services like #Signal, #WhatsApp and #Teams. People continue happily texting me on @npub1m9z3...whzq though 💚 :fedi:

Since it has gotten some beating recently (in particular from #Apple fanboys), I've written something about the #DigitalMarketsAct for @EDRi and how things are going at this front:

European Digital Rights (EDRi)

The DMA is a success, it should be strengthened and expanded - European Digital Rights (EDRi)
