That's very inaccurate information.
It's basically only the government officials who can't have the app installed on their phones, for security reasons.
That's it.
They often do. Merchandise too, if they are big.
falls short later
So far.. Next model will be even better, and it won't stop getting better.
Fair, then everything I can find on the Internet must be freeware too. Set the sails, matey!
Amazing. Great job, India, and all other regions who also have passed this.
Yeah, again it's EU setting a standard and the world is to follow. It's amazing what we the people actually CAN do, if we just stand up to big corporations.
They also often brand something as "best in the world" when in reality it's US only. And they are literally 4.2% the population of the entire world.
The malware thing still deserves a headline. They just argue it's stupid so many even have to use the library to begin with.
So they did it, but purposely didn't do it well enough. Next time it's a 10% fine.
I actually agree with you, that Apple most certainly will stall. And I also don't think it's optimal, but huge decisions on how to go forward do take time.
And I just think it may be better in the long run, that it seems more "fair" for the company, even thought it's not.
Also, if Apple doesn't comply this time and tries to find a new bullshit form of non-compliance, there's no second chance according to the EU law. The fine will hit, so they certainly won't do that.
Yeah, they will, but I think for this to work and be respected, they need to give companies this period, because it actually could take alot of time to change.
In this case, not so much, but it could be in the future, and the rules are the same regardless.
At least it opens up for challenge.
Well, yeah, in some places, but there's countries where that's a far worse idea than in Europe.
Well, if it's illegal to do otherwise, some must do it, because the money involved are big.
Who cares.
If Apple don't want to compete fair in the market, then others will.
And no iPhone user will miss an AI feature. Most of them don't even understand how to use 80% of the phones features anyway.
5 people could do it though.
Yeah, seems weird, but there's also points where it's not related at all.
One is a company using user data they didn't tell they would use for this purpose, and illegally trying to do it anyway. They literally sell the data by making a product of it. It's also a private company with stakeholders.
Other is EU scanning messages, but not selling them.
So it's about who you trust basically.
Might be a 10thDentist take, but I could be surprised.
It's reliable in specific use cases, I'll give it that.
