Very much looking forward to our upcoming first live recording of the #SoftwareFreedom #podcast together with @llas at 14:00 CET (Europe/Brussels), UA4.218

Lucas will share his insights about "can the #DMA help to protect #FreeSoftware developers working with #AOSP?"

We have opened proceedings to help Google comply with the Digital Markets Act.

Our goal is to make sure third-party AI and search providers can compete fairly on Android and in search results.

By ensuring equal access to technical features and search data, we can have more innovation and better choices for smartphone users.

The next era of tech should be open to everyone, not just the largest players.

Today, the @EUCommission opened a process under the #DMA to regulate how #Google handles #interoperability within #Android

The :fsfe: FSFE has been working intensively over the last two years to improve #DMA interoperability for #Apple and #Google users.

We will monitor how the Commission implements the interoperability rules further, ensuring DMA enforcement is Free Software-friendly.

The latest @EUCommission decision to start a specification proceeding, regulating how #Google should grant interoperability under the #DMA will be closely monitored by the @fsfe 👀

In the period of August-November 2025, the FSFE took part in a comprehensive study regarding #Google’s control over #interoperability in #AOSP.

In particular, the study focused on how the company's limiting access to critical interoperability can hinder Free Software projects.

The study was discussed in the @article19 #DMA Symposium and reviewed by the @EUCommission

A summary of the discussions conducted at the Symposium was later published at https://www.techpolicy.press/making-the-digital-markets-act-developer-friendly/

Earlier, in June 2025, we took part in the workshop organised by the Commission on #Google's #DMA compliance, where we raised issues related to #interoperability.

In particular, similar problems #FreeSoftware developers are facing with #Apple, like discretionary power to deny interoperability, the lack of transparency, and anti-competitive practices.

Extremely cool concept from #Wero: use the #DMA to role out a alternative contactless payment solution based on Wero instant SEPA transfers, with fallback to card payments for incompatible terminals.

An entirely independent, European payment solution.
