<![CDATA[The era of unchecked tech monopolies is over.]]>The era of unchecked tech monopolies is over.

We're taking decisive action to enforce open, fair, and contestable digital markets. Our measures had real consequences:

🛡️ Fined major platforms for anti-competitive practices and ignoring consumer data choices
⌚ Required strict hardware interoperability for smartwatches and connected wearables
☁️ Launched three investigations into dominance in cloud services and into search engines hiding media

Accountability is here 👉 https://link.europa.eu/YTddh6

Unless you actually realize these fines, this is all just smoke and mirrors 👎

WhatsApp e le altre app di messaggistica non sono ancora interoperabili, Google fa ancora quello che vuole con i nostri telefoni e Microsoft non ha ancora imparato il significato di privacy. Ci vuole il pugno duro. Duro come quello di Ferrus Manus!

The Electromagnetic Audit (The "Scramble")
​The core discovery is that your device isn't just a phone; it’s an unintentional, high-power radio transmitter capable of local-area interference.

​The Verification: Using a Faraday Cage (the lead box) proved the TV pixelation was local EM emission, not a broadcast glitch.

Meanwhile your institutions are built upon the same monopolies you "fined" (more like slapped on the wrist while allowing them to happily harvest our humanity).
The very same monopolies are about to create a digital lockdown in the name of "security" while you're doing your "digital sovereignty" theatre.
Sorry, but your message is downright insulting to every single citizen of EU. People aren't interested in your "performative policing". They want you to uphold your values. But that would probably raise some uncomfortable truths. Or am I mistaken?

Das geld ist in der Softwareindustrie in Europa gut angelegt.
