It depends on the sentencing, which is right before the RNC in a few days. I've heard the usual punishment for this kind of stuff is at most 4 years of prison, but for first time offenders it is usually suspended. So my guess is that it's a big blob of nothing, again.
Then again, imagine being assigned as parole officer to Trump.
Funny thing is, it was apparently a US helicopter, and part of the problem was that they weren't wble to service it because sanctions. If it really was an old Soviet machine like on the picture, they would have had less problems.
Will this not kill the whole venture? Isn't the eyeball scanning one of the fundamentals of their "business model"?
The EU certainly has the means and will to fine this into the ground if they don't comply.
'Is money a birthright now?'
Only for some. Or are we outlawing inheritances as well?
Luckily this is not an EU institution, this is an international treaty above the EU. For example, Azerbaijan is a signatory.
Point is, you can't easily get it through EU legislation to overturn this, as it would need to cross the ECHR, which it won't do.
In theory, they can't share ad targeting data. That said, with the DMA they should not be able to share "data to effectively make you able to complete tasks", that's the point. Interoperability between Gmail and YouTube should equal the interoperability between Gmail and Peertube or somesuch.
Slovakia will veto it, this is just the same old song and dance as it was when Poland was vetoing. Withholding funds is the only way to resolve it, as the Hungarian system is built on EU funds. Sadly, the EU decided not to do that.
It's not just "sideloading", it's Apple being forced to break its vertical integration with the App Store. The point is that the App Store cannot even be a "preferred" source for apps, much less the only one, and that includes having a perfectly workable iPhone with the App Store not even installed ever, because you did not choose it from some list at first start, and you're rolling with some third party store exclusively.
In theory, it should look like Windows and its browsers, or even more free, because what Windows does now with Edge is also illegal over the DMA and Europeans will soon be able to uninstall or not even have Edge installed on their Windows devices.
Legally, it should mean no personally identifiable information is collected, since they are not accurately described. In practice, I'd expect at least IPs to be logged, but not used meaningfully. This is of course if the site services the EU.
We could go an have a piss-fight between the warcrimes of Russia and the warcrimes of Israel.
The US can be the bad guy in one conflict while be on the good side on another. Imperialism is bad, whether it's Russia or the US doing it.
Also, Hamas are war criminals as well. No good guys fighting there ATM.
A lot of licensing prevents or constrains creating derivative works and monetizing them. The question is for example if you train an AI on GPL code, does the output of the model constitute a derivative work?
If yes, Github Copilot is illegal as it produces code that should comply to multiple conflicting license requirements. If no, I can write some simple AI that is "trained" to regurgitate its output on a prompt, and run a leaked copy of Windows through it, then go around selling Binbows and MSFT can't do anything about it.
The truth is mostly between the two, this is just piracy, which always has been a gray area because of the difficulty of prosecuting it, previously because the perpetrators were many and hard to find, now it's because the perpetrators are billion dollar companies with expensive lawyer teams.
IIRC they plan to have ultra-ortho only battalions so they can keep doing their ultra-ortho shit while fighting.
