The DMA is meant to push us toward a world where you decide which software runs on your devices, where it’s easy to find the best products and services, where you can leave a platform for a better one without forfeiting your social relationships , and where you can do all of this without getting spied on.

If it works, this will get dangerously close to better future we’ve spent the past thirty years fighting for.

There’s just one wrinkle: the Big Tech companies don’t want that future, and they’re trying their damndest to strangle it in its cradle.

Big Tech will eventually comply because the alternative would be to let the EU grow some alternatives themselves and that would be much more dangerous.
