Just in time, the #EUCommission has opened a public consultation on the revision of the #DMA effectiveness, with a deadline for Sept 24.
It's a great occasion to propose actual adjustments to the DMA text, like some to tackle the pre-install advantage, the systematic blocks of #Google Play Protect/Play Integrity, etc.
We believe we can achieve stronger impact if the Commission receives this kind of suggestions from many fronts, and not just from #FDroid.

🇩🇰🇪🇺 Denmark’s EU Council Presidency begins – the first brick snapped in.
From its first Presidency in 1973 to now, Denmark is back for the eighth time in the lead with an agenda focused on two key priorities:

We are ready to work closely to deliver on them over the next 6 months.
Snap. Click. Build.
God arbejdslyst, Danmark!

@EUCommission "The Presidency will focus on strengthening the abilities to make use of the digital development for law enforcement when fighting serious crime, while also addressing the misuse of new technologies for criminal or harmful purposes."
Translation: They want mandatory encryption backdoors.
Soon law abiding citizens will have no privacy, and criminals will easily circumvent the backdoors. As usual, to the surprise of no one.
