That's very inaccurate information.
It's basically only the government officials who can't have the app installed on their phones, for security reasons.
That's it.
They often do. Merchandise too, if they are big.
falls short later
So far.. Next model will be even better, and it won't stop getting better.
Fair, then everything I can find on the Internet must be freeware too. Set the sails, matey!
Amazing. Great job, India, and all other regions who also have passed this.
Yeah, again it's EU setting a standard and the world is to follow. It's amazing what we the people actually CAN do, if we just stand up to big corporations.
They also often brand something as "best in the world" when in reality it's US only. And they are literally 4.2% the population of the entire world.
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.
At least it opens up for challenge.
Well, yeah, in some places, but there's countries where that's a far worse idea than in Europe.

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.
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.
I didn't say that, but it might explain why Apple didn't say much. I'm just keeping the discussion to the thread.
No, but that doesn't make it good.
The whole world except a minority moved away from SMS a long time ago.
Sometimes CEOs just get paranoid. You can either flip a switch an remove an app, or risk getting personally targeted by Russia.
Russia won't get to you, most likely, but it's the paranoia that gets you.
