## Resource

The Digital Markets Act is a can opener for Big Tech's walled gardens, forcing Apple, Google, and Microsoft to open their platforms whether they like it or not. Henry sat down with Lucas Lasota from the FSFE (Free Software Foundation of Europe) to understand what the DMA actually does, why Big Tech is fighting it in court, and what it means for open source software and your digital freedom. 📱 RESOURCES • Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE): https://fsfe.org • Free Software Foundation (FSF US): https://www.fsf.org • Public Money, Public Code campaign: https://publiccode.eu ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS 0:00:00 INTRO 00:01:36 WHAT IS THE FSFE? 00:04:12 LUCAS' ROLE AT FSFE 00:05:44 INTRO TO THE DMA 00:09:45 THOUGHTS ON REGULATION 00:12:47 PUBLIC MONEY, PUBLIC CODE 00:21:25 BREAKDOWN OF THE DMA 00:30:54 DMA ENFORCEMENTS 00:31:44 INTEROPERABILITY 00:36:20 DMA ENFORCEMENTS (CONT'D) 00:38:50 DMA CRITICISMS 00:50:41 USB-C ON IPHONES 00:53:03 APPLE'S "MALICIOUS COMPLIANCE" 00:56:57 UNDERSTANDING THE EU 01:02:12 EU COMMISSION & OTHER ORGANIZATIONS 01:06:58 DMA'S GLOBAL INFLUENCE 01:11:57 BIG TECH + INTERPRETATION OF LAW 01:18:23 OUTRO 🎥 VIDEO Watch on YouTube 🧡 SUPPORT TECHLORE Keep Techlore Talks independent & growing: ★ Support this podcast ★
