📢 "Given that Apple’s product is an ecosystem where value is created not only by Apple, but also by independent external developers and consumers who own the devices, coercing selected gatekeepers’ products into interoperability is entirely legitimate and necessary." - fsfe FSFE's lawyer, Martin Husovec

🧑‍⚖️ The hearing is about to begin!

👀 Representatives from #Apple, @EUCommission and the European Parliament, as policymakers from Germany and industry representatives, are all here at @Curia

💥 This is BIG 💥

fsfe The FSFE's lawyer will have 10 minutes to explain to Court why #DMA requires interoperable solutions by design! #FreeSoftware is key for that! 💪

#Apple's lawyers are arguing that the #interoperability provision in the #DMA harms the company's human rights 😯

📖 Our lawyer, Martin Husovec, is now on the podium at @Curia

✊ He is reminding the Court that Apple is being regulated for the public interest and that interoperability and #FreeSoftware cannot be compromised.

#Apple is claiming before @Curia that #DMA is expropriating their copyrights and patents! 😲

The @EUCommission and the @fsfe stated that Apple has not listed any right. How this can be? 🤔

The Court followed up, but Apple just cannot list any copyright and patent affected by #interoperability!
