I feel like trying to make the big fish act in our interest and not theirs is fighting windmills.

Better kill the big fish.

Not directly on topic - note how all the socialist revolutionaries always start with killing the smallest fish and hate it the most. The big ones they try to convert.

That's a sentiment that quite a few others online feel too:

I do get the argument though that if no improvement will ever be good enough for some people, then what incentive do they have to change for the better if it won't make a difference to those people either way?

There’s a rule banning “self-preferencing.” That’s when platforms push their often inferior, in-house products and hide superior products made by their rivals

Wow, I can see Microsoft fighting this one tooth and nail. It's basically their whole business model

Continue the good work, EU. You obviously hit a nerve, so you know you're on the right track.

I’m swiss and not a EU fan, but I’m really proud of how they are standing up and facing these huge companies.

We’ve clearly reached a point where these companies need to see that they can’t do everything they want.

Let’s fight for reparability, interoperability and privacy!
