Proposed commitments from Apple and Google: app certainty and interoperable access

The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) is seeking views on proposed commitments from Apple and Google to provide more certainty for developers on app distribution, and to enable developers to request interoperable access to functionality from Apple.

The UK has a new "Telecoms Consumer Charter".

A cynic might see this as an attempt to deal with the adverse reaction to the concerns raised when some providers recently increased the amount of their "in-contract price rises".

I don't use 4Chan. I have zero wish to do so.

But quite how the UK Parliament thought that its laws might apply to, and be enforceable against, people in other countries, I've no idea!

An Ofcom decision to be published tomorrow, that 4Chan has not complied with the UK's #OnlineSafetyAct?

Well I, for one, am shocked.

If 4Chan does anything about this, I'll be even more shocked.

@pwaring Yes, the regs as protectionism for incumbent industry is not a good look, IMHO.

> This Supreme Court ruling on the use of 'milk' by milk alternatives (e.g. plant milk) seems a bit odd, I don't think anyone buying oat milk thinks it is dairy milk.

Have you read the actual ruling? If there is an absurdity, it strikes me that this comes from the underlying regulations in question, rather than the SC's application of them. But that's just my view!
