Podcasts about digital markets act

Apples große Entwicklerkonferenz WWDC ist geschlagen - und sie stand ganz im Zeichen von Siri AI. Liefert Apple endlich ab, was sie schon vor zwei Jahren versprochen haben? Das besprechen heute im Podcast sprechen Jakob Steinschaden, Mitgründer von eustella und Trending Topics, und Clemens Wasner, CEO von EnliteAI und Vorsitzender von AI Austria. Die Themen:

Apple zeigt auf ihrer Entwicklerkonferenz WWDC endlich die neue Siri, aber ausgerechnet in der EU soll sie vorerst nicht auf den Markt kommen. In dieser Episode klären wir, warum Apple den Digital Markets Act dafür verantwortlich macht, wie die EU das zurückweist und worum es beim Streit um Datenschutz, Interoperabilität und Marktmacht wirklich geht.Du magst unseren Podcast und willst uns finanziell unterstützen?

Apple heeft Siri AI onthuld tijdens hun WWDC-presentatie gisteravond, het centrale deel van het vernieuwde Apple Intelligence waarmee je onder meer berichten slim kunt doorzoeken of laten opstellen, en afbeeldingen aanpassen of doorzoeken. Maar al die functies komen voorlopig niet beschikbaar in EU-landen en er is ook geen indicatie wanneer dat wél gebeurt, volgens Apple door de Digital Markets Act die hier geldt. Joe van Burik vertelt erover in deze Tech Update. Verder in deze Tech Update: OpenAI heeft nu officieel de documenten ingediend om dit najaar naar de beurs te kunnen gaan, in navolging van SpaceX en Anthropic See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Apple Intelligence, a privacy-centric personal AI system integrated across Apple's device ecosystem. The technical documentation and press releases detail features such as Siri's enhanced contextual awareness, systemwide writing tools, and on-device image generation. While the rollout is moving forward in regions like the United States and India, it has been paused in the European Union due to regulatory conflicts with the Digital Markets Act. To address regional challenges, Apple has partnered with Baidu in China and is collaborating with Google to power advanced Siri functions via the Gemini model. Furthermore, the sources clarify that Apple unified its operating system version numbers to 26 to align with the 2026 calendar year.

Schickt uns euer Feedback zur EpisodeDas Internet fühlt sich plötzlich fremd an: zu glatt, zu voll, zu laut und manchmal so künstlich, dass wir selbst echten Menschen nicht mehr trauen. Wir nehmen die Dead Internet Theory ernst, ohne in Verschwörung abzurutschen, und schauen stattdessen auf die Resultate: KI-Slop, Content-Farmen, Bots, Propaganda und eine Aufmerksamkeitsökonomie, die Masse belohnt statt Sinn. Wenn Kommunikation ohne echte Intention entsteht, kippt der Diskursraum und es wird immer schwerer, „gute“ Informationen zwischen den Klatschblättern zu finden.Gleichzeitig verlagert sich Vertrauen ausgerechnet zu LLMs wie ChatGPT, Claude oder Perplexity, weil sie den Informationsdschungel scheinbar filtern. Wir sprechen darüber, warum das LLM damit zum Gatekeeper wird, wie sich SEO Richtung GEO verschiebt, und weshalb der Wettbewerb der KI-Firmen strukturell zu Monopolen drängt. Dual-Use, Government-Contracts und „too big to fail“ sind nicht nur Schlagworte, sondern echte Pfade, über die KI-Infrastruktur staatstragend werden kann. Hinter dem Hype liegt zudem viel menschliche Arbeit: RLHF, Clickworker und eine „polierte“ Oberfläche, die Desinformation genauso glattziehen kann wie hilfreiches Wissen.Wir bleiben nicht im Doom hängen, sondern suchen konkrete Gegenentwürfe: Transparenz, Open Source, Datensouveränität sowie EU-Regeln wie Digital Services Act und Digital Markets Act. Und wir zeigen, wie KI auch anders wirken kann, etwa als Moderations- und Auswertungswerkzeug für bessere Diskussionen, inklusive unserer kleinen Habermas-Maschine im Unternehmensalltag. Zum Schluss wird es praktisch: Welche neuen Kompetenzen brauchen wir, um Blackbox-Autorität zu widerstehen, Outputs einzuordnen und Ziele sauber zu setzen, ohne Lernarbeit und Urteilskraft zu verlieren?

Euro Numérique : Pourquoi le vote du 4 mai 2026 est si important Par Régis BAUDOUIN Le 4 mai 2026 restera sans doute dans les livres d'histoire comme le jour où l'Europe a enfin pris les commandes de son destin monétaire à l'ère du numérique. Ce jour-là, la Commission Européenne validera le cadre technique et législatif de l’Euro Numérique. Loin des discours alarmistes ou des fantasmes de surveillance, ce projet ambitieux est une mise à jour digitale indispensable de notre économie. Il s’agit de transformer nos smartphones en véritables coffres-forts souverains, capables de transporter du “cash dématérialisé” avec la même simplicité que la monnaie physique. Cette capacité s’ajoute aux solutions de paiement actuelles, ce n’est pas une restriction, c’est une émancipation. Tout le monde ne partage pas cette vison moderniste de la monnaie. L’Euro digitale ne tue pas le monnaie physique. C’est une nouvelle solution de paiement. Actuellement déjà les paiements en monnaie physique sont limités (1500 € entre particuliers et 1000 € entre professionnels) pour limiter le travail dissimulé et les blanchiment. Cela ne va pas changer. Le Cash numérique L'Euro Numérique n'est pas une énième application bancaire, c'est une révolution de l'infrastructure même des transactions numériques. Pour la première fois, la Banque Centrale Européenne (BCE) met à disposition des citoyens une monnaie numérique qui possède les mêmes propriétés que les espèces : elle est gratuite, universelle, et surtout, elle ne dépend pas de la santé financière d’une banque privée. Ce n’est pas non plus une crypto monnaire. Les Piliers Techniques de l’Euro Numérique Comment la BCE créée de la monnaie numérique ? Le Niveau 1 (BCE) : La Banque Centrale gère le “Grand Livre” (Ledger). Elle émet la monnaie et assure l’intégrité globale du système. Contrairement au Bitcoin, ce n’est pas une blockchain publique mais un registre centralisé ultra-sécurisé capable de traiter des dizaines de milliers de transactions par seconde. Le Niveau 2 (Intermédiaires) : Ce sont les banques commerciales et les établissements de paiement qui gèrent la relation client, ouvrent les portefeuilles (wallets) et assurent la vérification d’identité (KYC). Mais la véritable innovation technologique réside dans le paiement “offline”. Grâce à l’interopérabilité des puces NFC et au protocole CPACE, vous pouvez désormais régler vos achats de téléphone à téléphone, sans aucune connexion internet. Une résilience technologique majeure qui garantit que, même en cas de panne réseau ou de cyberattaque massive, l’économie européenne continue de respirer. Dans la limite des montants autorisés en numérique. La puce sécurisée est caractéristique la plus attendue de 2026. Elle utilise l’élément sécurisé (Secure Element) des smartphones et des cartes à puce. La transaction se fait via NFC (Near Field Communication) ou Bluetooth Low Energy. Les fonds sont transférés directement d’une puce à l’autre sans passer par le réseau. Cette puce est déjà présente dans vos smatphones, le problème était jusqu’ici son accessibilité. Chez Apple : Jusqu’à récemment, la puce NFC et le Secure Element étaient “fermés” (réservés exclusivement à Apple Pay). Sous la pression de la Commission Européenne (via le Digital Markets Act ou DMA), Apple a dû ouvrir l’accès au NFC à des tiers en Europe. L’Euro Numérique en profite : Grâce à cette ouverture forcée, l’application officielle de votre banque (ou celle de l’Eurosystème) pourra utiliser la puce sécurisée de votre iPhone pour payer en Euros Numériques, sans passer par Apple Pay. Pour ceux qui n’ont pas de smartphone récent ? La BCE a prévu deux alternatives pour ne laisser personne de côté : La Smart Card (Carte à puce) : Une carte physique ressemblant à une carte bancaire, mais dotée d’une puce spécifique capable de stocker une valeur “offline”. On pourra “charger” cette carte avec son téléphone ou à un distributeur. Le SIM-based Secure Element : Pour certains téléphones plus anciens, la sécurisation pourrait passer par la carte SIM (si elle est de type “GlobalPlatform”), bien que cette solution soit moins privilégiée que le SE intégré au téléphone. Comme aucune donnée ne remonte au serveur central au moment de l’achat, la confidentialité est totale pour les petits montants du quotidien ( ces montants sont plafonnés pour éviter le blanchiment). Pour éviter que l’Euro Numérique ne soit trop complexe à gérer, la BCE a inventé ces mécanismes de vase communicant entre le Wallet de votre compte bancaire classique: Waterfall (Cascade) : Si vous recevez 100€ en Euro Numérique mais que votre portefeuille est déjà au plafond (fixé dans le projet autour de 3 000€ pour éviter la fuite des dépôts bancaires), le surplus est automatiquement transféré sur votre compte bancaire classique. Reverse Waterfall : Si vous achetez un objet à 50€ mais que vous n’avez que 20€ sur votre wallet Euro Numérique, le système “pioche” automatiquement les 30€ manquants sur votre compte bancaire lié pour valider l’achat instantanément. Attention, la BCE refuse le terme de “monnaie programmable” (qui pourrait expirer), mais elle autorise les paiements conditionnels. Exemple fonctionnel : Vous pouvez programmer le déblocage d’un paiement Euro Numérique uniquement lors de la livraison d’un colis (Smart Contracts simplifiés). Usages B2B : Paiements automatiques lors de la validation d’une étape de production en usine (Industrie 4.0). Se libérer de la dépendance Visa / Mastercard Pourquoi un tel investissement ? L’euro numérique est un enjeux de souveraineté. Aujourd’hui, plus de 70 % des transactions par carte, en Europe, transitent par des réseaux privés américains. Cette dépendance est une faille stratégique. En cas de tensions géopolitiques extrêmes, un simple “clic” outre-atlantique pourrait paralyser nos terminaux de paiement. L’Euro Numérique est notre bouclier de souveraineté. En bâtissant une infrastructure 100 % européenne, nous garantissons que nos flux financiers restent sous notre juridiction. Pour les commerçants, c’est aussi la promesse de frais de transaction réduits, brisant le duopole actuel pour offrir une alternative publique et performante. Vie privée : Le rempart du règlement de 2026 C'est ici que le débat devient passionnant. Contrairement aux idées reçues, l’Euro Numérique est conçu pour offrir plus de confidentialité que nos cartes bancaires actuelles. Le règlement voté ce 4 mai impose une “ségrégation stricte des données”. Pour les petits paiements du quotidien (mode offline), la BCE ne voit jamais qui achète quoi. Le niveau d’anonymat est équivalent à celui d’un billet de banque. Pour les transactions en ligne, si votre banque connaît votre identité pour des raisons de lutte contre la fraude, la BCE, elle, ne voit qu’un flux financier anonymisé. Contrairement aux modèles des GAFAM, l’Euro Numérique n’a pas pour vocation de monétiser votre comportement d’achat, mais de sécuriser votre liberté de payer. Il faut rappeler ici que toutes vos transactions Apple pay, Google pay… sont utilisées pour tracer vos dépenses, vous habitudes et vos comportement. Ces données sont vendues et échangées entre grands acteurs de l’économie. L’Europe se dote enfin d’une moyen de paiement souverain publique. L'Euro Numérique ne signe pas la fin du cash physique — qui reste un droit — mais il offre une alternative moderne, sécurisée et surtout libre de toute influence étrangère. En 2026, posséder des Euros Numériques, c'est posséder un morceau de souveraineté européenne dans sa poche. Une étape de plus vers une société numérisée et dématérialisée.

Our guest in this show is known for crossing swords with the Trump administration on the regulation of big tech and, more recently, for actually coming under a US travel ban. Thierry Breton was the EU Commissioner for the Internal Market from 2019 to 2024, when he had a major role in driving forward the Digital Services Act and the Digital Markets Act. He and four other figures were hit with US travel bans at the end of last year, prompting Breton to denounce what he called "a wind of McCarthyism blowing again".

Imaginez un instant qu'en ouvrant simplement votre navigateur pour consulter votre profil professionnel, un algorithme fouille discrètement les moindres recoins de votre machine pour y dresser la liste de vos logiciels installés.C'est précisément l'accusation gravissime qui pèse aujourd'hui sur LinkedIn, la filiale de Microsoft, suite aux révélations de l'enquête BrowserGate menée par l'association Fairlinked.Un code cachéConcrètement, l'investigation révèle que LinkedIn exécute un code caché capable de scanner les extensions de votre navigateur et les logiciels installés sur votre ordinateur.Pour un DSI, c'est un cauchemar de sécurité et de conformité. Le script identifie non seulement des outils de productivité, mais aussi des données ultrasensibles. L'enquête mentionne le repérage d'extensions révélant des opinions politiques, des convictions religieuses ou des troubles neurologiques.Plus cynique encore, LinkedIn scannerait plus de cinq cents outils de recherche d'emploi. En clair, la plateforme sait qui cherche secrètement à quitter son entreprise alors même que l'employeur actuel est souvent un client payant des solutions de recrutement de LinkedIn.LinkedIn surveillerait plus de 200 concurrents directsMais le scandale prend une dimension industrielle quand on regarde la liste des cibles de ce scan.LinkedIn surveillerait plus de deux cents produits concurrents directs de ses propres solutions de vente, comme Apollo ou ZoomInfo. En croisant ces découvertes avec l'identité réelle des utilisateurs et de leurs employeurs, Microsoft dispose d'une cartographie mondiale et en temps réel de la clientèle de ses adversaires.C'est une forme d'espionnage industriel automatisé. Et ces données serviraient déjà à envoyer des mises en demeure ciblées aux utilisateurs d'outils tiers. Pour les entreprises du secteur logiciel, c'est un vol pur et simple de leurs listes de clients via le navigateur de leurs propres utilisateurs.Mais qu'en dit l'UE ?Enfin, cette affaire place LinkedIn dans une posture de défiance ouverte face aux régulateurs, particulièrement en Europe.Alors que le Digital Markets Act oblige les contrôleurs d'accès à ouvrir leur écosystème, LinkedIn aurait fait l'inverse. Officiellement, la firme montre patte blanche à la Commission Européenne.Mais au lieu de favoriser l'interopérabilité demandée par Bruxelles, LinkedIn aurait construit une véritable machine de guerre pour identifier et pénaliser tout usage de services tiers non validés par ses soins.Le ZD Tech est sur toutes les plateformes de podcast !

Verschillende streamingdiensten zoals Disney+ en Videoland willen dat de smart-tv-platforms van Google, Amazon en Samsung met de strengere regels van de Digital Markets Act te maken gaan krijgen. Nu kan namelijk geen gezonde en eerlijke concurrentie gegarandeerd worden, zegt de lobbyclub Association of Commercial Television and Video on Demand Services in Europe (ACT) waarin veel grote streamingsdiensten verenigd zijn. Rosanne Peters vertelt erover in deze Tech Update. Om hier aandacht voor te krijgen heeft de lobbyclub een brief gestuurd naar de verantwoordelijke EU-commissaris Teresa Ribera. De angst is dat grote techbedrijven steeds meer controle krijgen over de besturingssystemen van smart-tv's en spraakassistenten, waardoor ze een soort "poortwachters" rol krijgen. Ze kunnen gebruikers namelijk naar bepaalde content leiden en ergens van weghouden. Daarom is de hoop dat er uiteindelijk beter gecontroleerd zal worden om zo de concurrentie eerlijk te laten verlopen.

72% of smartphones run Android. Just 28% run iOS.Yet Apple's App Store generates billions—because for years, it controlled the only path to iPhone users.Until March 2024.The EU's Digital Markets Act forced Apple to open iOS to alternative app marketplaces, legally shifting the iPhone from a closed console to something closer to an open computer. But the transition came with friction, including a controversial install Core Technology Fee that left many developers questioning what “open” really meant.In this episode, Erick Espinosa sits down with Artur Assanskiy, Chief Product Officer at Onside, to unpack what actually changed, why developers hesitated, and how alternative iOS distribution is evolving in Europe.Find out more about Artur Assanskiy here. Learn more about Onside here.Reach out to today's host, Erick Espinosa - erick@sociable.coGet the latest on tech news - https://sociable.co/ Leave an iTunes review  - https://rb.gy/ampk26Follow us on your favourite podcast platform - https://link.chtbl.com/rN3x4ecY

"I will say that QAnon was right and I was wrong." — Pepper CulpepperFrom Bannon and Trump to Summers, Gates, Blavatnik and Chomsky, the Epstein scandal has revealed elites of all ideological stripes behaving shamefully together. The Oxford political scientist Pepper Culpepper argues this is exactly the kind of corporate scandal that can save democracy—not despite its ugliness, but because of it. His new co-authored book, Billionaire Backlash, shows how scandals activate "latent opinion," bringing long-simmering public concerns to the surface and triggering society-wide demand for regulation. We discuss why Cambridge Analytica led to California privacy law, how Samsung's bribery scandal sparked Korea's Candlelight Protests, and why China's authoritarian approach to corporate malfeasance actually undermines trust.Culpepper, himself the Blavatnik Professor of Government at Oxford's Blavatnik School, acknowledges an uncomfortable truth. "I would say that QAnon was right," he admits, "and I was wrong." The specifics might have been fantasy, but the underlying suspicion about elite corruption was justified. And policy entrepreneurs—obsessive individuals who channel public outrage into actual legislation—matter more than we think. For Culpepper, billionaire backlash isn't a threat to democracy—it might actually be what saves it.About the GuestPepper Culpepper is Vice Dean of the Blavatnik School of Government at the University of Oxford. He is the co-author, with Taeku Lee of Harvard, of Billionaire Backlash: The Age of Corporate Scandal and How It Could Save Democracy (2026).ReferencesScandals discussed:●      The Epstein scandal revealed that elites across politics, finance, and academia were connected to Jeffrey Epstein's network of abuse—vindicating populist suspicions that "the system is broken."●      Cambridge Analytica (2018) exposed how Facebook leaked data on 90 million users, leading to the Digital Markets Act and Digital Services Act in the EU, and California's privacy regulations.●      The Samsung bribery scandal in South Korea led to the Candlelight Protests and President Park Geun-hye's resignation, demonstrating how corporate scandals can strengthen civil society.●      The 2008 Chinese milk scandal killed six infants due to melamine contamination; the government's cover-up during the Beijing Olympics destroyed public trust in domestic food safety.●      Volkswagen's Dieselgate scandal showed how companies cheat on regulations, bringing latent concerns about corporate behavior to the surface.Policy entrepreneurs mentioned:●      Carl Levin was a US Senator from Michigan who shepherded the Goldman Sachs hearings and contributed to the Dodd-Frank Act.●      Margrethe Vestager served as EU Competition Commissioner and pushed for the Digital Markets Act and Digital Services Act.●      Max Schrems is an Austrian privacy activist who, as a student, discovered Facebook retained his deleted messages and eventually brought down the US-EU data transfer agreement.●      Alastair Mactaggart is a California property developer who pushed through the state's privacy regulations when federal action proved impossible.●      Zhao Lianhai was a Chinese activist who tried to organize parents after the 2008 milk scandal; the government arrested and imprisoned him.Concepts discussed:●      Latent opinion refers to concerns people hold in the back of their minds that aren't front-of-mind until a scandal brings them to the surface.●      The Thermidor reference is to the French Revolutionary period when the radical Jacobins were overthrown—Culpepper suggests a controlled version might benefit democracy.●      The muckrakers were Progressive Era journalists whose exposés led to reforms like the Food and Drug Administration.Also mentioned:●      Michael Sandel is a Harvard political philosopher known for arguing that "there shouldn't be a price on everything."●      Patrick Radden Keefe wrote Empire of Pain, the definitive account of the Sackler family and the opioid epidemic.●      Lee Jae-yong is the heir apparent to Samsung, implicated in the bribery scandal.●      Parasite, Squid Game, and No Other Choice are Korean cultural works that critique the country's relationship with its conglomerates.About Keen On AmericaNobody asks more awkward questions than the Anglo-American writer and filmmaker Andrew Keen.

Was 2025 the year the games industry finally stopped talking about direct-to-consumer and started treating it as the default way to do business? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I'm joined by Chris Hewish, President at Xsolla, for a wide-ranging conversation about how regulation, platform pressure, and shifting player expectations have pushed D2C from the margins into the mainstream. As court rulings, the Digital Markets Act, and high-profile battles like Epic versus Apple continue to reshape the industry, developers are gaining more leverage, but also more responsibility, over how they distribute, monetize, and support their games. Chris breaks down why D2C is no longer just about avoiding app store fees. It is about owning player relationships, controlling data, and building sustainable businesses in a more consolidated market. We explore how tools like Xsolla's Unity SDK are lowering the barrier for studios to sell directly across mobile, PC, and the web, while handling the operational complexity that often scares teams away from global payments, compliance, and fraud management. We also dig into what is changing inside live service games. From offer walls that help monetize the vast majority of players who never spend, to LiveOps tools that simplify campaigns and retention strategies, Chris shares real examples of how studios are seeing meaningful lifts in revenue and engagement. The conversation moves beyond technology into mindset, especially for indie and mid-sized teams learning that treating a game as a long-term business needs to start far earlier than launch day. Here in 2026, we talk about account-centric economies, hybrid monetization models running in parallel, and the growing role of community-driven commerce inspired by platforms like Roblox and Fortnite. There is optimism in these shifts, but also understandable anxiety as studios adjust to managing more of the stack themselves. Chris offers a grounded perspective on how that balance is likely to play out. So if games are becoming hobbies, platforms are opening up, and developers finally have the tools to meet players wherever they are, what does the next phase of direct-to-consumer really look like, and are studios ready to fully own that relationship?

Apple is introducing notification forwarding in iOS 26.3 to comply with the European Union's Digital Markets Act, enabling users to send iPhone notifications to a single third-party accessory. The feature is managed through a new AccessoryNotifications framework and allows users to control which apps can forward notifications. When enabled, notifications do not appear on Apple Watch, and users are informed that forwarded notifications may include full content and app names. Apple has not released full developer documentation for the framework. The update creates new integration opportunities for accessory and app developers while raising data privacy considerations.Learn more on this news by visiting us at: https://greyjournal.net/news/ Hosted on Acast.

L'exécutif européen doit présenter, ce mercredi 19 novembre, un projet de loi de simplification numérique. Une révision des textes en vigueur qui ont fait de l'Europe la superpuissance régulatrice des activités en ligne. Objectif affiché : relancer la compétitivité européenne et favoriser le développement de l'intelligence artificielle (IA). Mais les associations spécialisées craignent surtout une dilution de la protection de la vie privée des Européens sous la pression de Washington et des Gafam. Règlement général sur la protection des données (RGPD) en 2018, Digital Markets Act et Digital Services Act en 2022, toute première règlementation au monde sur l'intelligence artificielle en 2024 : à défaut de briller sur le plan de l'innovation, depuis bientôt dix ans l'Union européenne se présente comme la superpuissance régulatrice du numérique. Forte de son marché unique aux 500 millions de consommateurs, l'Europe est parvenue à imposer ses règles aux grandes plateformes du numérique, qu'elles soient américaines ou chinoises. Mais tout pourrait changer avec la proposition dite « Omnibus numérique » que la Commission doit présenter ce mercredi 19 novembre. Un projet de loi qui devrait de toute façon en passer par le Parlement européen et les États membres mais dont une première version a fuité une semaine avant sa présentation. L'exécutif européen y défend une série de mesures présentées comme le moyen de relancer la compétitivité européenne et notamment dans le domaine de l'intelligence artificielle. Pour cela la Commission propose de réécrire tous les textes en vigueur pour en assouplir les règles ou laisser une plus grande place à l'interprétation. De quoi susciter l'inquiétude des associations spécialisées qui y voient une « dilution » de tout le bouclier réglementaire dont s'est dotée l'Union européenne ces dix dernières années. Mort à petit feu du parapluie réglementaire européen Par exemple, à l'heure actuelle la loi européenne empêche les acteurs du numérique d'exploiter les données personnelles d'un internaute, pour lui proposer de la publicité ciblée en fonction de son état de santé, son orientation politique ou sexuelle. Des données très sensibles mais qu'il est facile d'obtenir ou de deviner si vous avez accès à l'historique de navigation d'un internaute, à la liste des applications installées sur son téléphone, ce genre de chose. Avec les nouvelles règles proposées par la Commission au nom de la compétitivité, tant que l'internaute en question n'est pas directement identifié, les entreprises pourraient exploiter ces données personnelles : les vendre à des tiers ou les utiliser pour entraîner une intelligence artificielle. L'ONG autrichienne Noyb (pour « None of your business »), la référence en la matière, estime que ce projet de la Commission est de nature à tuer à petit feu tout le parapluie réglementaire qui protège la vie privée des Européens. La Commission se défend en expliquant vouloir ne pas vouloir freiner le développement des acteurs européens. Certaines entreprises se réjouissent par avance de la diminution de ce qu'elles considèrent comme un carcan administratif trop lourd. Mais les mesures proposées vont surtout servir les intérêts des géants américains, déjà en place : Google, Amazon, Meta, Open AI... Vassalisation numérique Alors pourquoi ce soudain volte-face européen ? Peut-être à cause d'un certain Donald Trump qui n'a de cesse d'accuser l'Europe de faire preuve de protectionnisme en citant son cadre réglementaire et en particulier numérique. Déjà mise en difficulté par les droits de douane l'UE semble vouloir donner des gages à Washington, quitte à devenir plus encore le vassal numérique des États-Unis.

Europe created regulatory frameworks, including the Digital Markets Act and the Digital Services Act, in attempt to reassert control, but these laws have recently faced backlash from the Trump administration. In this episode of the TechTank podcast, Courtney Radsch speaks with Marietje Schaake about these challenges and the digital sovereignty debate. Hosted on Acast.

-In order to avoid paying billions of dollars in fines for violating the European Union's Digital Markets Act, Google is considering changing how search results are displayed, Reuters reports. -Customer service support company 5CA contradicted claims by Discord that it was the victim of a hack last month. -OpenAI plans to open the floodgates to more adult uses of ChatGPT starting in December, according to a new post from CEO Sam Altman. The company announced that it would add parental controls and automatic age detection features in September, and it seems like a benefit of sorting out children from adults is an ability to offer more freedom in what ChatGPT can show users.

News and Updates: Microsoft backtracks in Europe — Windows 10's Extended Security Updates (ESU) will be free for an extra year in the European Economic Area (EEA), lasting until October 14, 2026. After pushback from Euroconsumers under the Digital Markets Act, Microsoft dropped its requirement to enable Windows Backup (and OneDrive) for access. Users in the EEA still need to log in with a Microsoft account every 60 days, but no cloud sync or payments are required. Outside Europe, ESU costs $30 or 1,000 Microsoft Rewards points, or requires enabling cloud sync. Windows 10 end-of-support remains October 14, 2025. Cracker Barrel logo controversy amplified by bots — Researchers at PeakMetrics found that nearly half of early outrage posts on X about Cracker Barrel's new logo were bot-generated. Around 44.5% of the first 52,000 posts — and nearly half of boycott calls — were flagged as bot-driven. Alt-tech platforms like Truth Social, Gettr, Gab, 4chan, and Rumble also spread the backlash. While 75% of posts came from real users, botnets amplified discontent into a viral outrage cycle. Social media now central to news diets — A new Pew study shows 53% of U.S. adults sometimes get news from social media. Facebook (38%) and YouTube (35%) lead, followed by Instagram (20%) and TikTok (20%). X (12%) and Reddit (9%) lag behind. Younger adults are far more likely to use TikTok, Reddit, and Instagram for news, while older adults still lean on TV. Only 2% of Americans say they get news from AI chatbots like ChatGPT or Google Gemini. Police stop a driverless Waymo — San Bruno, California police pulled over a Waymo robotaxi after it made an illegal U-turn. With no human driver, officers couldn't issue a citation. Current law only allows tickets for human drivers, though a new state law next year will let violations be reported to the DMV. Waymo says it is reviewing the “glitch.” The incident sparked viral debate over how to hold self-driving cars accountable.

Managed service providers (MSPs) are experiencing significant growth driven by interest in artificial intelligence (AI), with 92% reporting an uptick in business. However, a concerning trend has emerged: only about half of these providers feel equipped to assist small and mid-sized businesses in adopting AI tools, a sharp decline from 90% the previous year. This growing readiness gap highlights the challenges MSPs face in meeting customer expectations as AI adoption accelerates. Experts emphasize the need for integrated security solutions to help navigate the complexities of AI.OpenAI's recent benchmarks reveal that a staggering 95% of enterprise AI projects fail, underscoring the difficulties companies encounter in justifying their AI investments. Despite advancements in AI models, their effectiveness remains inconsistent, particularly in handling complex, ongoing projects. The evaluation system introduced by OpenAI aims to bridge the gap between theoretical capabilities and real-world demands, indicating that while AI can perform tasks faster and cheaper than humans, it still struggles with contextual understanding and interaction.In the realm of digital content, Cloudflare has launched a feature allowing website owners to block Google's AI overview search product, addressing concerns from publishers about traffic losses due to AI-generated content. This move comes amid legal challenges faced by Google from publishers who argue that their content is being used without proper attribution. While Cloudflare's feature offers a potential solution, its effectiveness hinges on Google's compliance, raising questions about the future of content ownership in the age of AI.Regulatory pressures are also reshaping the landscape for major tech companies. Microsoft has been compelled to offer free extended security updates for Windows 10 in select European markets, responding to consumer advocacy for better support. Meanwhile, Apple has delayed the release of several features in Europe due to compliance challenges with the EU's Digital Markets Act. These developments highlight the increasing influence of regulation on technology services, prompting MSPs to prepare for client inquiries regarding disparities in service offerings across regions.Four things to know today00:00 92% of MSPs Report AI-Driven Growth, But Only Half Feel Ready to Support SMB Adoption02:50 Fast, Cheap, and Fragile: OpenAI Finds AI Struggles in Real Work While Cloudflare Challenges Google's AI Overviews06:44 EU Pressure Forces Microsoft to Extend Free Windows 10 Updates as Apple Delays Features Under DMA09:39 Innovation vs. Obligation: How Debt, Automation, and AI Metrics Are Rewriting the Managed Services PlaybookThis is the Business of Tech.    Supported by:  https://mailprotector.com/ Webinar:  https://bit.ly/msprmail All our Sponsors: https://businessof.tech/sponsors/ Do you want the show on your podcast app or the written versions of the stories?

The European Union's Digital Markets Act (DMA) is changing the app economy—and not for the better.

His practical experience with the DMA's consequences is crucial for unpacking all this and more.
