📌 Make enforcement genuinely inclusive.
Europe's digital ecosystem runs on Free Software, SMEs, and small developer teams. They face complex procedures and disproportionate barriers. Compliance workshops shaped by gatekeeper agendas are not enough.
Enforcement must be designed with smaller actors in mind, and Device Neutrality must be at its core.
Users must have real control over the software on their own devices. 🔓

#DeviceNeutrality must be central to this effort. Users must have full control over their devices: the freedom to install and uninstall software and operating systems, free from gatekeeper interference.
We regret the EC fails to recognise the need of changing the DMA in order to accommodate the pressing needs of the diverse stakeholders involved in the software industry in the EU.

Do you know what #RouterFreedom is?
It is the right of users to choose and operate their own routers, modems, and other equipment used for internet connection.
It is important for user autonomy, competition, and privacy as it enables users to run #FreeSoftware operating systems on their routers and modems.

Have you seen our new sticker? It’s the perfect one to give to those people (we’re sure at least one name comes to mind) who own an Apple device.
And yes, it glows in the dark 🤩

Your whole internet traffic, encryption, backups, communication, shopping, writings, business interaction, and so on are transferred through your router. If your router is not free, your digital freedom is likely to be compromised.
💥 Check out our #RouterFreedom tech wiki, which collects information on how to use a different modem or router from your internet provider.

#Apple again weaponises its dominant market position and influence over millions of users to undermine a democratically enacted law in Europe:
Rumour has it that the #gatekeeper might rather disable its WiFi sync functionality than make it interoperable with competitors, as it's obliged to under the EU #DigitalMarketsAct.
Let me guess: next thing they'll complain again how the #DMA makes Apple products worse.

Debatt i Aktuell Hållbarhet: Så kan du undvika att kasta din dator ♻️
Många datorer kan inte uppgraderas till Windows 11. Resultatet blir att 400 miljoner fungerande datorer riskerar att kasseras – något som skapar mer än 700 miljoner kg elektronikavfall och stora koldioxidutsläpp. Det skriver @mattiasaxell vid @okfse i #AktuellHållbarhet och ger alternativ 🙌

📣 Hey, #Google "disable" Google apps is not "uninstalling" them. You can't dodge the EU’s #DMA rules by redefining language.
👏 Thanks to @fsfe and allies, a complaint has been filed to stop this abuse and protect user freedom.

Looking forward to meet many from the @nextcloud community on Sunday at the #NextcloudConf25! Will give a lightning talk about "Let’s spark children’s interest in coding" and be around to talk about #softwarefreedom and the @fsfe's work as well.
On Saturday my awesome co-workers @llas and @dario will be there as well to talk with #nextcloud contributors about #DeviceNeutrality and get feedback for our work in front of the European Court of Justice to keep #Apple accountable under the #DMA.

🎉 The Digital Markets Act #DMA turns 1! Since its approval #Google, #Apple & all gatekeepers must:
🔹Allow competing app stores
🔸Not discriminate against browsers & search engines
🔹Allow uninstallation of pre-installed apps
🔸Provide free-of-charge interoperability👀 But we’re not done! #DeviceNeutrality, the freedom to uninstall, install & control any software on any device still faces hurdles
💪 With @edri we submitted our contribution to the @EUCommission consultation

@ilumium Remember when #Google claimed that removal from an #Android home screen was also the same as app removal? Pepperidge Farm remembers.
I guess in 7 years (almost to a day) we've progressed to arguing about disablement vs removal now.@edri @EUCommission @article19 @fsfe @Freiheitsrechte @HomoDigitalisGR @vrijschrift

📣 Is "disable" the same as "uninstall"? We do not believe it. Google does.
Under the DMA, the FSFE with a coalition of civil-society organisations prompts the @EUCommission to open proceedings to investigate Alphabet's (#Google) regarding the uninstallation of pre-installed apps in Android.
Uninstalling is completely removing the app, not just disabling it! This is key for #DeviceNeutrality!

🤖⚖️ Locked bootloaders, forced app stores, and vendor lock-in? No thanks!
#DeviceNeutrality helps to break up digital monopolies and restore competition by giving back to end-users control of their devices! #FreeSoftware
