The malware thing still deserves a headline. They just argue it's stupid so many even have to use the library to begin with.

So they did it, but purposely didn't do it well enough. Next time it's a 10% fine.

I actually agree with you, that Apple most certainly will stall. And I also don't think it's optimal, but huge decisions on how to go forward do take time.

And I just think it may be better in the long run, that it seems more "fair" for the company, even thought it's not.

Also, if Apple doesn't comply this time and tries to find a new bullshit form of non-compliance, there's no second chance according to the EU law. The fine will hit, so they certainly won't do that.

Yeah, they will, but I think for this to work and be respected, they need to give companies this period, because it actually could take alot of time to change.

In this case, not so much, but it could be in the future, and the rules are the same regardless.

"be bisexual" ???

At least it opens up for challenge.

Well, if it's illegal to do otherwise, some must do it, because the money involved are big.

Who cares.

If Apple don't want to compete fair in the market, then others will.

And no iPhone user will miss an AI feature. Most of them don't even understand how to use 80% of the phones features anyway.

5 people could do it though.

Yeah, seems weird, but there's also points where it's not related at all.

One is a company using user data they didn't tell they would use for this purpose, and illegally trying to do it anyway. They literally sell the data by making a product of it. It's also a private company with stakeholders.

Other is EU scanning messages, but not selling them.

So it's about who you trust basically.

Might be a 10thDentist take, but I could be surprised.

It's reliable in specific use cases, I'll give it that.
