Hmm, #Google seems to be down... at least it's not working well here and downdetector is showing an uplift in reports.
It's causing my Android phone to say the wifi has no internet!

Your parents probably taught you from a young age not to take gifts from strangers, right?
So, why do you blindly accept now "free" services from companies online?

After the #Microsoft frenzy last week and the #Apple disaster yesterday, on today's menu is the @EUCommission #DMA compliance workshop with #Alphabet #Google.
What should I do?
Options: (choose one)
📣 Is "disable" the same as "uninstall"? We do not believe it. Google does.
Under the DMA, the FSFE with a coalition of civil-society organisations prompts the @EUCommission to open proceedings to investigate Alphabet's (#Google) regarding the uninstallation of pre-installed apps in Android.
Uninstalling is completely removing the app, not just disabling it! This is key for #DeviceNeutrality!

It felt like kindergarten to do it but this week we @edri +others filed a complaint against #Google with the @EUCommission for breach of the #DigitalMarketsAct.
Despite the #DMA's clear obligation for #gatekeepers to allow you to uninstall pre-installed apps, #Alphabet claims this can also mean disabling. Yes seriously.
So we wrote a 7-page explanation why disable ≠ uninstall.
The complaint was filed together with @article19, @fsfe, @Freiheitsrechte, @HomoDigitalisGR and @vrijschrift 🙏
