"Some say good government is less government. Others have a different point of view. But the least you should be able to expect from any kind of governance is that following one law doesn't force you to break another. That is, unless you're Apple and the laws are made in Europe."
"As part of an initial investigation, the European Commission has thrown Requests for Information (RFI) at Apple. These say regulators suspect that Apple: "Has not put in place reasonable, proportionate and effective mitigation measures tailored to this specific systemic risk [of the dissemination of illegal content related to financial scams through App Store]." "Has not put in place appropriate and proportionate measures to ensure a high level of safety and security of minors on their service.""
The European Commission has made the App Store less safe for users while pursuing investigations under EU digital laws. Apple Vice President Kyle Andeer objected to two inquiries conducted under the Digital Services Act (DSA). Apple contends that the DSA inquiries reflect requirements from the Digital Markets Act (DMA) and that enforcement has been misguided and contradictory. Apple stated that the inquiries appear to be cynical attempts to distract from core problems caused by the Commission's DMA enforcement. The Commission issued Requests for Information alleging failures to mitigate dissemination of illegal financial‑scam content and to ensure minors' safety. Apple pointed to its extensive, provable protections for customers and children.
