Yes... it's only been 1.1 months since they've first issued fines under the DMA... What a long and litigated history! Definitely shows what you claim it does over it *checks notes* 2 issued fines ever.

Funny part is, DMA has been law since MAY 2023. So in 2 years... it issued 2 fines ever... less than 2 months ago.

But right! NO COMPANY EVER DARES IGNORE IT!

LMFAO. Right.

The Financial Times reported in January that the EU was planning to soften its regulatory practices around Big Tech following an increase in pressure from the US, with the new EU Commission that took office in December reportedly being more focused on enforcing compliance than issuing hefty fines.

Weird... Doesn't sound like the commission even wants to issue fines at all!
