I don't know, before going after that, maybe go after all of the popups you created that are not in the spirit of letting you control who you share your browsing data with.
To consent to sharing, I just have to click the consent button. To reject sharing, I need to<p>a) click the manage options button<p>b) click the reject all button (if there is such a button)<p>c) avoid the "agree to all and confirm" button that is somehow now highlighted as if that would be the logical next button to click after I rejected all<p>d) click on the "save changes" button, which is really helpfully titled, and greyed out, but thankfully still clickable<p>e) pray that all of that made a difference
I wish these guys regulated Microsoft even half as much as they go after apple. I dream of a day where I can just walk into the local electronics store and buy a computer with Linux installed. I don't really care about Apple since they're only around 25% of the smartphone market and 10% of the PC market.
I worked for Microsoft during the EU consent decree where Microsoft had to document[1] all of their protocols to enable interoperability.<p>Apple seems to be getting off much easier than Microsoft did; EU would never have stood for the same behavior from Microsoft.<p>(Side note: those documents were some of the best protocol documentation I've ever seen [or written])<p>[1] <a href="https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/openspecs/windows_protocols/MS-WINPROTLP/e36c976a-6263-42a8-b119-7a3cc41ddd2a" rel="nofollow">https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/openspecs/windows_protocol...</a>
> ...and how the iCompany should accommodate developer requests for interoperability.<p>That's got to be my favorite word mirror I've ever read for "Apple".
IMO title should be edited.<p>Original one is "Apple's interoperability efforts aren't meeting spirit or letter of EU law, ADVOCACY GROUPS ARGUE”<p>I get that it’s long but IMO HN title doesn’t represent source article content.
