🇹🇼 New visuals from the intense quakes striking Taiwan today.


Brilliant! The entire clip is worth watching. Thanks @jonstewart for this interview and for revealing that Apple actually didn't you to talk to @linakhanFTC 😳

Thanks to @jonstewart for having me on to talk about @FTC’s work to lower the cost of asthma inhalers, the importance of holding corporate executives accountable for lawbreaking, and how monopolies can use their power to bully, coerce, and censor speech.

Today we open 1st #investigations under the #DMA. We are concerned #Alphabet, @Apple & @Meta are not meeting their obligations e.g: 👉#Apple & #Alphabet still charge recurring fees to #app #developers 👉#Meta offers no real choice for users to opt out of #data combination ⬇️

"Our investigation was methodical," says Assistant Attorney General Jonathan Kanter on the DOJ suing @Apple "Competition leads to lower prices for consumers, lower prices for developers, more opportunities for entrepreneurs and ultimately more innovation that benefits society."


Now and then.

Attorney General Merrick Garland during a press conference at @TheJusticeDept announcing the DOJ's complaint against Apple: "We allege that @Apple has employed a strategy that relies on exclusionary, anti-competitive conduct that hurts both consumers and developers."

We broke down the discrepancies between what the DMA is calling for and what @Apple considers compliance, provision by provision. The @EU_Commission must reject this sham compliance plan. More from CAF: bit.ly/49FN1LE

Today, @EU_Commission has fined @Apple 1.84 bn € for abusing its dominant position on the market for the distribution of #music #streaming #apps. 👉@Apple illegally restricted #app developers’ ability to inform #users about cheaper options to buy🎶, outside the🍏ecosystem.


Apple’s gatekeeping practices are stifling innovation. The Internet must remain open!


🌱🍫 I'm not eating lots of sugar anyway, but Zya is on to something cool! Their enzyme, straight from gut-friendly bacteria, turns sugar into fiber before your body absorbs it, boosting those good gut vibes.

The average American adult consumes two to three times the recommended amount of added sugar every day. Food tech company Zya is developing a substance to add to sweet foods that can convert some of that sugar into fiber in the digestive system. wired.trib.al/PN5N1bm

He sounds like a nice guy, but someone should tell him about Mac, where Apple customers can "Download apps safely from the Mac App Store. And the internet." Which is exactly what the EU Digital Markets Act expects of iOS! fastcompany.com/91021439/apple…
