This is a disappointing betrayal of ‘little tech’ by captured elements of the Trump Administration. The Digital Markets Act *unlocks* market share for 👏U.S. companies 👏. Trash the EU AI Act/DSA/GDPR all you want, but the DMA should be emulated, not attacked.

It's funny seeing tech people refer to the antitrust implications of this. It's literally happening because of the EU's Digital Markets Act (EU's anti-self-preferencing / pro-interoperability law). Antitrust scrutiny unlocks better experiences for users.
