Thomas Claburn<\/a> (Hacker News<\/a>):<\/p>\n

Digital rights advocacy organizations contend that Apple has failed to comply with its interoperability obligations under the EU’s Digital Markets Act (DMA).<\/p>

The groups made their case in a letter<\/a> [PDF] asking competition watchdogs to do more to ensure Apple’s compliance with the Article 6(7)<\/a> of the DMA.<\/p>

The letter is the work of four groups - the Free Software Foundation Europe<\/a>, freedom of expression advocates ARTICLE 19<\/a>, European Digital Rights<\/a>, and Data Rights<\/a> - plus three independent researchers.<\/p>

[…]<\/p>

The letter’s signatories argue that the commission’s approach so far, “as laid out in Apple’s compliance report<\/a> and as observed in practice so far, is clearly deficient and structurally incapable of delivering effective interoperability, as required by the DMA.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
