Die Petition an den Bundestag zur Wiedereinführung der Vermögenssteuer haben bereits am ersten Tag über 4.000 Menschen gezeichnet. Ab 30.000 muss sich der Bundestag damit beschäftigen.
Jetzt mal alle ran, die keine Millionen besitzen, aber intakte Infrastruktur, funktionierende Kinderbetreuung und moderne Krankenhäuser für ganz coole Sachen halten.

Interestingly, the Commission introductory talk included a reference to how the fact that #Android is essentially #opensource software facilitates #DMA compliance. 😍
(Which does of course not mean there is no non-compliance in Alphabet products, there certainly is.)

in reply to Jan Penfrat • • •Yay #Google goes full in, claiming the #DMA would make Europeans "second class citizens" on Android 😆
And they do the same thing #Apple did yesterday: counting the number of meetings with regulators and other stakeholders in n attempt of proving good will. Still think this rather raises the question how the heck Google can still be non-compliant after all that engagement. 🤷🏼♂️

in reply to Jan Penfrat • • •Hmmm, so #Google lobbyists claim "All apps on Android can be uninstalled" but from my testing on #Android 16 with all latest updates on a #Pixel this appears to be false.
Google's own #DMA compliance report from March 2025 says this is wrong:
"Android allows to uninstall apps by: (i) fully deleting apps that are downloaded or pre-installed in the user partition; and (ii) uninstalling apps in the system partition such that they are returned into an uninstalled state."
