This Day in Legal History: Atkins v. VirginiaOn June 20, 2002, the U.S. Supreme Court delivered a landmark ruling in Atkins v. Virginia, holding that the execution of individuals with intellectual disabilities violates the Eighth Amendment's prohibition on cruel and unusual punishment. The case centered on Daryl Renard Atkins, who was convicted of abduction, armed robbery, and capital murder in Virginia. During the penalty phase of his trial, defense attorneys presented evidence that Atkins had an IQ of 59 and functioned at the level of a child. Despite this, he was sentenced to death.In a 6-3 decision, the Court reversed its earlier stance from Penry v. Lynaugh (1989), which had allowed such executions. Justice John Paul Stevens, writing for the majority, emphasized the "evolving standards of decency" in American society, noting that a growing number of states had barred the death penalty for individuals with intellectual disabilities. The Court recognized that such defendants are at a heightened risk of wrongful execution due to difficulties in assisting their own defense and the possibility of false confessions.The decision did not establish a national standard for determining intellectual disability, leaving that to the states, but it set a constitutional floor by barring executions in these cases outright. Atkins significantly reshaped the legal landscape of capital punishment, prompting states to revise death penalty statutes and sentencing procedures.The ruling reinforced the importance of individualized sentencing and safeguarded vulnerable populations from the most severe penalties. It also underscored the role of psychological and scientific evidence in constitutional interpretation. While not without criticism, Atkins remains a cornerstone of Eighth Amendment jurisprudence and a key moment in the Court's ongoing reevaluation of capital punishment.Technology giants Apple and Meta are currently facing possible penalties under the EU's Digital Markets Act (DMA), but the European Commission has decided not to immediately fine them—even if they don't fully comply by the deadline next week.In April, both companies were fined—€500 million for Apple and €200 million for Meta—and given 60 days (ending 26 June) to align their practices with DMA requirements. Apple was penalized for preventing app developers from directing users to alternatives outside its platform, infringing DMA fairness rules. Meta was fined for its “pay or consent” system, which required users to either pay for an ad-free experience or agree to extensive personal data use; the Commission saw this as limiting user choice.Since November 2024, Meta has offered a new, lower-data personalized advertising model, which remains under Commission review. The current situation involves ongoing dialogue: any future fines will depend on the outcome of that review and will be imposed only after detailed assessments, rather than automatically once the deadline passed.These April fines were deliberately modest—reflecting the short duration of non-compliance and signaling the EU's priority on achieving compliance over punishment, marking a softer approach compared to previous, harsher antitrust actions. The situation also plays into broader economic tensions: EU leaders have threatened digital advertising taxes in response to recent US tariffs, while a US trade report criticized EU digital regulation as a trade barrier.Tech giants Apple and Meta to escape sanctions for failing to meet EU digital rules | EuronewsA U.S. appeals court has temporarily allowed Donald Trump to retain control over California's National Guard, despite a legal challenge from California Governor Gavin Newsom. The decision from the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals pauses an earlier ruling by Judge Charles Breyer, who found Trump had unlawfully federalized the Guard without meeting statutory requirements or adequately coordinating with Newsom.The court stated Trump likely acted within his authority and that even if coordination with the governor was insufficient, Newsom lacked the power to override a presidential order. Still, the court left open the possibility of further challenges under laws barring federal troops from engaging in domestic law enforcement. Newsom plans to pursue his challenge, arguing Trump is misusing military force against civilians.The case stems from Trump's deployment of 4,000 National Guard troops and 700 U.S. Marines to Los Angeles earlier in June to suppress protests tied to his immigration policies—actions Newsom said infringed on state sovereignty and legal limits on military involvement in civilian matters. The Trump administration argued troops are protecting federal property, not performing law enforcement.During a hearing, the appellate judges examined whether courts can assess a president's decision to federalize troops under a law allowing such moves only during invasion, rebellion, or when civilian enforcement fails. The court found the last condition may have applied, given protest-related violence. However, it rejected the Justice Department's claim that such presidential decisions are beyond judicial review.The Insurrection Act and related federalization authority are central to this case. The Act allows a president to take control of a state's National Guard in limited situations—such as rebellion or when laws can't be enforced by normal means. This case illustrates both the expansive view of executive power and the judiciary's role in checking it, even amid claims of national emergency.US court lets Trump keep control of California National Guard for nowPresident Trump has once again extended the deadline for TikTok to be sold to a U.S. owner, granting a third 90-day reprieve through an executive order despite lacking a clear legal basis for the extensions. The move allows TikTok to continue operating in the U.S. while negotiations persist to transfer ownership from China-based ByteDance to an American entity. The previous extension fell through when China withdrew from talks following Trump's new tariffs.This delay has not yet faced a court challenge, even though the original ban—passed by Congress and upheld by the Supreme Court—briefly took effect in January. Trump's personal popularity on the platform, where he has more than 15 million followers, adds a political twist to the ongoing negotiations. TikTok praised the decision and emphasized its importance to 170 million users and 7.5 million U.S. businesses.Despite concerns from national security officials and lawmakers like Senator Mark Warner, who accuse the administration of ignoring known risks, the repeated extensions suggest a softening of resolve. Analysts describe the situation as a recurring political maneuver with no clear endpoint—likening it to the endless debates over the debt ceiling.Meanwhile, TikTok continues to roll out new features and expand its services, including AI tools debuted in Cannes, signaling confidence in its long-term U.S. presence. Tech giants Apple, Google, and Oracle remain engaged with TikTok, reassured that the administration won't penalize them under current law.Public opinion has shifted, with fewer Americans now supporting a ban compared to 2023. Concerns remain over data privacy, but many citizens are unsure or opposed to banning the app outright.Trump extends TikTok ban deadline for a third time, without clear legal basisThis week's closing theme is by Johann Sebastian Bach. Johann Sebastian Bach, one of the most influential composers in Western music history, composed the Goldberg Variations, BWV 988, in 1741. Originally written for harpsichord, the work consists of an aria followed by 30 variations, returning to the aria at the end in a da capo structure. It was likely commissioned by Count Hermann Karl von Keyserlingk, a Russian diplomat suffering from insomnia, who wanted music to soothe his sleepless nights—though this origin story is debated.The aria, which opens and closes the piece, is a gentle, sarabande-like melody in G major. Unlike other variation sets built on melodies, Bach bases the Goldberg Variations on the aria's bass line and harmonic structure. This allows for extraordinary variety in texture, form, and mood across the variations, while keeping a consistent foundation.The aria itself is simple and elegant, consisting of two balanced halves, each repeated. Its serene tone contrasts with the technical brilliance and contrapuntal complexity found in many of the following variations. Yet, the aria's emotional restraint and clarity set the tone for the entire cycle.Over the centuries, the Goldberg Variations have come to be seen as a pinnacle of keyboard composition. The aria, both opening and closing the work, serves as a kind of spiritual bookend—calm, contemplative, and timeless. Performers often approach it with reverence, as a moment of stillness and symmetry amid musical adventure.Without further ado, Johann Sebastian Bach's Goldberg Variations, BMV 988 – the aria. Enjoy!

In dieser Episode unterhalten wir uns mit Dr. Sebastian Louven über die EU-Bußgelder von 700 Millionen Euro gegen Apple und Meta. Wir erörtern, inwiefern der Digital Markets Act (DMA) den Zugang zu Fortnite auf iPhones beeinflussen könnte und ob er Metas Nutzung von Nutzerdaten für KI-Training einschränken kann. Der Beitrag Rechtsbelehrung 136 – Bußgelder gegen Apple und Meta: Wirkt der DMA? erschien zuerst auf Rechtsbelehrung.

Per la prima volta l’UE ha applicato il Digital Markets Act (DMA) infliggendo multe ad Apple (500 milioni di euro) e Meta (200 milioni) per pratiche anticoncorrenziali. Apple è accusata di ostacolare l’accesso degli utenti a offerte alternative sull’App Store, mentre Meta avrebbe imposto una scelta troppo rigida tra condivisione dei dati e abbonamento a pagamento. Le sanzioni, ben inferiori alla soglia massima prevista dal DMA, suggeriscono una volontà europea di non aggravare ulteriormente i rapporti con gli Stati Uniti, già tesi per via della guerra commerciale lanciata da Trump. Bruxelles assicura che le decisioni sono puramente giuridiche, ma la Casa Bianca ha reagito duramente parlando di “estorsione economica”. Interviene Michele Polo, professore Ordinario di Economia Politica presso l'Università Bocconi.Kering, ricavi del primo trimestre in calo del 14% a 3,9 miliardiNel primo trimestre del 2025 Kering ha registrato ricavi in calo del 14%, a 3,9 miliardi di euro, deludendo le attese degli analisti. Il calo ha colpito tutte le aree geografiche, con l’Asia-Pacifico in forte contrazione (-25%), seguita da Europa occidentale e Nord America (-13%), e Giappone (-11%). Il titolo, che da inizio anno ha perso oltre il 25%, ha chiuso in rialzo prima della trimestrale, in scia alla buona performance del settore lusso a Parigi. Le vendite del canale retail diretto, centrale per la strategia di Kering, sono scese del 16%, mentre il wholesale ha perso il 23%, in linea con la politica di rafforzamento dell’esclusività distributiva. Tra i brand, Gucci ha segnato la flessione più marcata (-25%), penalizzata dal calo del traffico nei negozi e dalla razionalizzazione dell’offerta. Saint Laurent ha registrato un -9%, con segnali di tenuta in Medio Oriente e in parte del mercato occidentale. In controtendenza, Bottega Veneta ha chiuso con un +4%, grazie alla crescita a doppia cifra in Europa, Nord America e Medio Oriente. Le altre maison del gruppo hanno registrato un calo dell’11%, ma con dinamiche variegate: bene Brioni, Pomellato e Qeelin, più deboli McQueen e Balenciaga (nonostante il buon andamento nella pelletteria). Ne parliamo con Filippo Diodovich, market Strategist di IG Italia.Generali, l assemblea conferma Donnet alla guidaMediobanca vince la "battaglia" in assemblea Generali con il 52,38% dei voti, assicurando la riconferma di Donnet e Sironi, ma la "guerra" resta aperta. La lista Caltagirone si ferma al 36,8%, rafforzata dall'appoggio di Unicredit (6,7% del capitale), Delfin (9,9%) e Crt. Assogestioni esclusa dal CdA. Gli istituzionali, il retail e i piccoli azionisti si schierano con Mediobanca, che resta l’azionista di riferimento (13,04%). Nonostante la sconfitta, Caltagirone conquista tre consiglieri e conserva un ruolo critico in CdA. La partita ora si sposta su Mps, dove lo stesso Caltagirone è azionista e il dialogo con Mediobanca resta tutto da scrivere. Laura Galvagni, Il Sole 24 Ore.Dazi, 12 Stati Usa fanno causa a TrumpDodici Stati americani, guidati da procuratori democratici e alcuni governatori repubblicani, hanno fatto causa a Trump per i dazi unilaterali, accusandolo di abuso del potere tariffario che spetterebbe al Congresso. Denunciato un impatto economico grave e immediato, soprattutto in Stati come California e Oregon. Mentre la tensione cresce, emerge una figura chiave nell’amministrazione: Scott Bessent, nuovo Segretario al Tesoro, ex trader di Soros e primo esponente apertamente gay nel ruolo. Con approccio pragmatico e tono conciliatore, Bessent spinge per una politica commerciale meno instabile, promuovendo un'America First aperta alla cooperazione globale. Marco Valsania, Il Sole24Ore.

Apple gaat in beroep tegen de megaboete van 500 miljoen euro die het van de Europese Commissie heeft gekregen. In een verklaring laat het bedrijf weten dat de Europese Commissie oneerlijk te werk gaat en 'de doelpalen steeds verplaatst'. Niels Kooloos vertelt erover in deze Tech Update. Apple is, samen met Meta, het eerste bedrijf dat een boete heeft gekregen onder de Digital Markets Act (DMA). Dat is een Europese wet die erop toeziet dat digitale markten voor iedereen toegankelijk blijven. Apple zou dat met de App Store verstoren door het ontwikkelaars moeilijk te maken om te verwijzen naar betere aanbiedingen buiten de App Store. Volgens Apple zijn er al 'honderdduizenden uren' besteed om aan de DMA te voldoen, maar de Europese Commissie zou steeds met nieuwe eisen komen. Verder in deze Tech Update: IBM ziet 15 contracten met de Amerikaanse overheid in rook opgaan door het bezuinigingsbeleid van DOGE Tesla-personeel in Austin en San Francisco wordt ingezet als proefkonijn voor de robotaxidienst, die deze zomer gelanceerd moet worden See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This Day in Legal History: Sirhan Sirhan Sentenced to DeathOn April 23, 1969, Sirhan Bishara Sirhan was formally sentenced to death for the assassination of Senator Robert F. Kennedy, a tragedy that shook the United States during a period of intense political and social upheaval. Kennedy had been shot on June 5, 1968, just after declaring victory in the California Democratic primary, and he died the following day. Sirhan, a 24-year-old Palestinian immigrant, was apprehended at the scene with a gun in his hand and later confessed to the crime during police interrogation.Despite the confession and trial conviction, controversy has surrounded the case for decades. In 1972, Sirhan's death sentence was commuted to life in prison after the California Supreme Court invalidated the state's death penalty statutes. A resurgence of interest in the case came in 1998, when Sirhan's attorney Larry Teeter publicly argued that his client had not actually fired the fatal shot. Teeter pointed to alleged inconsistencies in the autopsy report and the number of bullets fired, raising the possibility of a second gunman.Teeter's claims never gained traction in court, but they fed into ongoing skepticism among some legal observers and conspiracy theorists. Over the years, Sirhan has repeatedly sought parole, asserting he was manipulated and does not remember the events of the assassination. Most recently, in March 2023, a California parole board again denied his release, citing concerns over public safety and lack of full accountability.The legal legacy of the case is complex, entangling questions of criminal justice, political violence, and the integrity of forensic evidence. It remains one of the most controversial political assassinations in U.S. history.A long-running legal battle over the rights to Superman has taken a new turn as the estate of co-creator Joe Shuster attempts to block the release of an upcoming film in several foreign markets. In a January 2025 lawsuit, executor Mark Warren Peary argued that copyright laws in the U.K., Canada, Australia, and Ireland revert rights to heirs 25 years after the author's death, potentially invalidating the original 1938 agreement with DC's predecessor. This suit follows a 2023 federal ruling in Vetter v. Resnik that disrupted long-standing entertainment industry consensus by suggesting there is no separate category for foreign rights under the Berne Convention—meaning U.S. termination rights may apply globally.This theory directly challenges a 2008 Superman-related decision that limited termination to U.S. rights. Judge Shelly Dick's 2024 ruling supported the broader reading of termination rights, asserting that foreign copyright protections of U.S. works “arise under” U.S. law. Her opinion dismisses prior case law and scholar-backed consensus as insufficiently grounded. Legal experts are split on the implications, with some praising the reasoning as well-founded, while others see significant obstacles to enforcement abroad.Peary's effort is hampered by delays—he brought the suit years after the alleged 2017 rights reversion—and by the steep burden of proving irreparable harm. Critics also question whether foreign courts will honor a U.S. ruling. The legal strategy comes as Superman is set to enter the public domain within the next decade, prompting what some view as a final attempt by Shuster's estate to reclaim financial control of the iconic character.Superman IP Fight Turns on Newly Questioned Foreign Rights CanonTwo U.S. federal judges have extended temporary blocks on the deportation of Venezuelan migrants and questioned the Trump administration's use of a centuries-old wartime law to expedite removals. President Trump invoked the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 in a March 15 proclamation to deport individuals allegedly affiliated with the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua, sending many to a high-security prison in El Salvador under a $6 million deal with President Nayib Bukele's government. However, U.S. District Judges Charlotte Sweeney in Colorado and Alvin Hellerstein in New York signaled that this use of the law likely violates due process rights.Judge Sweeney ruled that migrants detained in Colorado must receive at least 21 days' notice before deportation, while Judge Hellerstein suggested a minimum of 10 days in his Manhattan hearing. Hellerstein also raised constitutional concerns, referencing the Eighth Amendment's ban on cruel and unusual punishment and questioning the legality of mass deportations without individual review. The Supreme Court recently ruled that migrants must have the opportunity to challenge deportation but left specifics undefined.Attorneys for the migrants, represented by the ACLU, argued that the Alien Enemies Act shouldn't apply, as no formal war exists, and Tren de Aragua's presence doesn't constitute one. The ACLU also sought a 30-day notice period, consistent with practices during WWII when the law was last broadly applied. Meanwhile, another case revealed that a Salvadoran man had been mistakenly deported, prompting a federal judge in Maryland to demand documentation on the government's efforts to correct the error.Judges extend Venezuela deportation blocks, question Trump's use of wartime law | ReutersThe European Union fined Apple €500 million ($570 million) and Meta €200 million ($228 million) for breaching the Digital Markets Act (DMA), a landmark law aimed at reining in the dominance of Big Tech. These penalties mark the first enforcement actions under the DMA, which seeks to promote competition by requiring dominant platforms to remove barriers for smaller rivals. Apple was penalized for restricting app developers from directing users to cheaper alternatives outside the App Store and for imposing disincentives, such as its new “Core Technology Fee,” that discourage the use of alternative app distribution channels on iOS.Meta's violation centered on its “pay-or-consent” model, which offered users either free, ad-supported access to Facebook and Instagram with data tracking or a paid, ad-free version. Regulators determined this structure did not comply with the DMA's requirements for user consent and fairness. Both companies have two months to adjust their practices or face daily fines. While Apple and Meta criticized the rulings—claiming they unfairly target U.S. companies—EU officials emphasized that all firms operating in Europe must respect local rules.The fines are relatively small compared to previous EU antitrust actions, reflecting a strategic shift toward compliance over punishment and a possible effort to avoid inflaming U.S.-EU trade tensions. The U.S. administration under President Donald Trump has already voiced displeasure with European crackdowns on American tech firms and has threatened retaliatory tariffs.Apple fined $570 million and Meta $228 million for breach of EU law | Reuters This is a public episode.

The European Commission has found that Apple breached its anti-steering obligation under the Digital Markets Act (DMA), and that Meta breached the DMA obligation to give consumers the choice of a service that uses less of their personal data. Therefore, the Commission has fined Apple and Meta with €500 million and €200 million respectively. The two decisions come after extensive dialogue with the companies concerned allowing them to present in detail their views and arguments. Non-compliance decision on Apple's steering terms Under the DMA, app developers distributing their apps via Apple's App Store should be able to inform customers, free of charge, of alternative offers outside the App Store, steer them to those offers and allow them to make purchases. The Commission found that Apple fails to comply with this obligation. Due to a number of restrictions imposed by Apple, app developers cannot fully benefit from the advantages of alternative distribution channels outside the App Store. Similarly, consumers cannot fully benefit from alternative and cheaper offers as Apple prevents app developers from directly informing consumers of such offers. The company has failed to demonstrate that these restrictions are objectively necessary and proportionate. As part of today's decision, the Commission has ordered Apple to remove the technical and commercial restrictions on steering and to refrain from perpetuating the non-compliant conduct in the future, which includes adopting conduct with an equivalent object or effect. The fine imposed on Apple takes into account the gravity and duration of the non-compliance. The Commission has also closed the investigation on Apple's user choice obligations, thanks to early and proactive engagement by Apple on a compliance solution. You will find more information on these decisions here. Non-compliance decision on Meta's "consent or pay" model Under the DMA, gatekeepers must seek users' consent for combining their personal data between services. Those users who do not consent must have access to a less personalised but equivalent alternative. In November 2023, Meta introduced a binary 'Consent or Pay' advertising model. Under this model, EU users of Facebook and Instagram had a choice between consenting to personal data combination for personalised advertising or paying a monthly subscription for an ad-free service. The Commission found that this model is not compliant with the DMA, as it did not give users the required specific choice to opt for a service that uses less of their personal data but is otherwise equivalent to the 'personalised ads' service. Meta's model also did not allow users to exercise their right to freely consent to the combination of their personal data. In November 2024, after numerous exchanges with the Commission, Meta introduced another version of the free personalised ads model, offering a new option that allegedly uses less personal data to display advertisements. The Commission is currently assessing this new option and continues its dialogue with Meta, requesting the company to provide evidence of the impact that this new ads model has in practice. Without prejudice to this ongoing assessment, today's decision finding non-compliance concerns the time period during which end users in the EU were only offered the binary 'Consent or Pay' option between March 2024, when the DMA obligations became legally binding, and November 2024, when Meta's new ads model was introduced. The fine imposed on Meta also takes into account the gravity and duration of the non-compliance, while noting that today's decisions taken against Apple and Meta are the first non-compliance decisions adopted under the DMA. The Commission has also found that Meta's online intermediation service Facebook Marketplace should no longer be designated under the DMA. The decision follows a request submitted by Meta on 5 March 2024 to reconsider the designation of Marketplace. Following a careful assessment ...

The EDGE untangles the EU's Digital Markets Act (DMA) with SEO veterans Mike Blumenthal, Greg Sterling, and David Mihm. This episode reveals how Google's strategic maneuvers in Europe are reshaping the SERP landscape and challenging the status quo in local search. With a strong research effort of the last two years, our guests dissect Google's attempts to comply with the DMA, such as the introduction of the Places Sites Tab, Carousel and the decoupling of the Local Pack from Google Maps. Despite these efforts, user behavior tells a different story—one where Google's new features are largely ignored. It seems the Local Pack is still the go-to destination for users, regardless of these new additions. Meanwhile, the episode exposes an intriguing juxtaposition in the hotels vertical, where booking.com emerges as a formidable player through ad dominance, highlighting a complex dance between market giants. This scenario sparks a discussion on whether Google's self-preferencing tendencies are truly being curtailed or simply rebranded. Join us as we explore how Google's “play nice” strategies may just be a façade amidst ongoing DOJ antitrust pressure.

Mandag ble Marine Le Pen fradømt retten til å stille til valg i Frankrike. Det markerer et dramatisk vendepunkt, ikke bare i fransk politikk, men i hele Vest-Europas demokratiske struktur.Med et pennestrøk ble den franske folkefavoritten fjernet fra presidentvalget, og det uten at franskmennene selv fikk si sitt. Samtidig viser Romania hvordan EUs nyvunne makt kan brukes i praksis: Etter mistanker om «utenlandsk påvirkning» ble det rumenske presidentvalget i desember annullert, og vinneren nektet å stille igjen.Utviklingen tolkes av mange som et koordinert angrep på folkelig oppslutning om populistiske kandidater. EU benytter i økende grad juridiske og teknologiske virkemidler for å svekke demokratisk motstand. I Norge er Digital Services Act (DSA) og Digital Markets Act (DMA) nå på vei inn gjennom EØS. Disse gir EU mulighet til å gripe inn i informasjonsflyt, valgrelaterte prosesser og til og med å kreve suspensjon av digitale plattformer, helt uten norsk godkjenning.De som hevder å beskytte demokratiet bruker all makt og alle mulige midler til å bygge det ned, der teknokratisk EU-makt trumfer folkets vilje.

Talking Points from the Newsletter's EditorialCritique of European Commission's Regulatory Actions • The editorial strongly criticizes the European Commission's enforcement of interoperability requirements under the Digital Markets Act (DMA), particularly targeting Apple. It views these measures as an example of governmental overreach into business decisions, arguing that market forces are sufficient to regulate companies like Apple. • Key EU demands include opening iOS features to third-party developers, which Apple claims will hinder innovation and compromise user privacy. • The editorial contrasts this regulatory approach with the organic diffusion of AI technologies, as described by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, who likens AI's impact to the transistor—ubiquitous, cheap, and transformative.Technological Innovation vs. Ideological Divides • The editorial highlights a growing ideological divide between progressives and conservatives regarding technology. Progressives are portrayed as skeptical of technological advancements, while conservatives embrace innovation and acceleration. • Jaye Chen's essay on STEM graduates leaning toward conservative ideologies underscores this shift, attributing it to progressives' failure to integrate technical talent into their causes and their tendency to view technology as a problem needing control.Celebration of Recent Tech Achievements • The editorial celebrates notable technological breakthroughs, including: • OpenAI's launch of its high-performance O1-Pro AI model. • BYD's unveiling of EV batteries capable of recharging in five minutes. • Nvidia's announcement of next-generation products that are 100 times faster than current offerings.Introduction of ‘Reflect' App • The editorial introduces a new app called Reflect, designed to help teens privately discuss life challenges. It leverages AI tools such as OpenAI, Perplexity, and Anthropics Claude as conversational partners for emotional support.Advocacy for Market-Driven Innovation • The overarching theme advocates for minimizing government interference in economic and technological decisions. It argues that markets are better equipped to judge corporate failures or successes without regulatory micromanagement This is a public episode.

Spotify-baas Daniel Ek vindt dat de Europese Commissie veel te terughoudend is met het straffen van Apple onder de Digital Markets Act (DMA). Dat vertelt hij tegen persbureau Bloomberg in een interview. Niels Kooloos vertelt erover in deze Tech Update. Als het aan Ek ligt doet Apple er alles aan om DMA-handhaving te omzeilen. Zo zou het bedrijf volgens de topman halfgebakken maatregelen nemen die eerder bedoeld zijn om tijd te rekken dan dat ze echt oplossingen bieden. Ook vindt Ek dat de Europese Commissie terughouding is uit angst voor boze reacties van president Donald Trump die mogelijk tegenmaatregelen kan nemen. Afgelopen jaar liet Ek zich ook al horen over Apple bij de Europese Commissie. Dat resulteerde toen in een boete voor de iPhone-maker van 1,8 miljard euro.

Wie fair ist der Wettbewerb im Online-Handel? Warum lohnt es sich, Preise langfristig zu beobachten? Und welche versteckten Kosten werden oft nicht eingepreist? Zum ersten Mal mit Live-Publikum aufgenommen, widmet sich diese besondere Folge unseres Pricing Friends Geburtstagsevents dem Gespräch zwischen Dr. Sebastian Voigt und Albrecht von Sonntag, Mitgründer von idealo. Es geht um die Entwicklung des Internet-Urgesteins idealo, den Kampf um Preistransparenz und die Herausforderungen eines digitalen Marktplatzes. Albrecht von Sonntag spricht über die Marktmacht von Google Shopping, das eigene Angebote bevorzugt und Händler zwingt, höhere Preise zu setzen, um sichtbar zu bleiben. Er erklärt, warum idealo auf eine neutrale Preis-Reihenfolge setzt und welche Folgen es hat, wenn Händler auf anderen Plattformen Sichtbarkeit erkaufen müssen. Außerdem zeigt er, warum Black Friday nicht immer der beste Kaufzeitpunkt ist. Preise auf idealo sinken monatlich im Schnitt um 1,6 Prozent – oft stärker als kurzfristige Rabatte. Oder wie er es formuliert: „Bei idealo ist jeden Tag Black Friday.“ Viele Produkte erscheinen günstiger, als sie tatsächlich sind, weil externe Kosten – etwa Umweltfolgen – nicht eingepreist werden. Ein Flug auf die Fidschi-Inseln müsste realistisch 15.000 Euro kosten, wenn man die CO₂-Kosten berücksichtigt – tatsächlich zahlen Verbraucher aber nur einen Bruchteil. Über den Gast Albrecht von Sonntag hat idealo im Jahr 2000 mitgegründet und war bis 2024 Geschäftsführer der Plattform. Heute begleitet er als Beiratsmitglied die strategische Weiterentwicklung. Ein zentrales Thema für ihn ist fairer Wettbewerb im Online-Handel. Er engagierte sich aktiv in Verfahren gegen Google und setzte sich für die Durchsetzung des Digital Markets Act (DMA) ein, um Wettbewerbsverzerrungen entgegenzuwirken. Vor idealo war er als M&A-Anwalt tätig und bringt umfassende Expertise in E-Commerce und Plattformökonomie mit.

Xsolla State of Play report: https://xsolla.com/newsroom/xsolla-autumn-2024-report Mobile gaming is bigger than ever, with the industry set to hit $98.7 billion in 2024. But where is that growth coming from? In this episode, we sit down with Xsolla's Chris Hewish to break down the key trends shaping the global market—from Asia's dominance to the rise of emerging regions like Africa, Latin America, and the Middle East. We also dig into how player demographics are shifting and what it means for game makers. With diversity becoming a bigger focus, studios are rethinking how they engage and design for an increasingly varied audience. Chris unpacks the impact of the Digital Markets Act (DMA), explaining how developers are navigating new monetization opportunities beyond traditional app stores. We also tackle the surge of direct-to-consumer web shops, how gaming is merging with mainstream entertainment (yes, we're looking at you, Secret Level), and what all of this means for the future of the industry. If you want to stay ahead of where mobile gaming is headed, this episode is a must-listen.

Le ton monte entre Google et l'Union européenne. Alors que le Digital Markets Act (DMA) entre en vigueur pour encadrer les pratiques des géants du numérique, Google a choisi la confrontation. Dans une lettre adressée à la Commission européenne, Kent Walker, président des affaires mondiales de l'entreprise, affirme son refus de se conformer aux nouvelles exigences en matière de fact-checking.Ce positionnement marque un virage abrupt pour Google, qui s'était montré plus conciliant ces dernières années. En 2022, l'entreprise annonçait des ajustements de son moteur de recherche en Europe pour respecter les premières obligations du DMA. Mais depuis l'élection de Donald Trump à la présidence des États-Unis, les GAFAM semblent avoir changé de cap. Trump, fervent partisan de la dérégulation technologique, aurait encouragé ces géants à résister davantage aux régulations européennes. Google justifie son refus en expliquant que le fact-checking imposé par l'UE n'est « ni approprié, ni efficace ». La firme privilégie ses propres solutions, comme les annotations collaboratives sur YouTube, similaires aux « Community Notes » de X (anciennement Twitter).Cette position suscite de nombreuses interrogations. L'UE, qui a fait de la lutte contre la désinformation une priorité, n'a pas l'intention de se laisser dicter ses règles. Des sanctions financières pouvant atteindre 10 % du chiffre d'affaires mondial de Google sont envisagées. Mais l'entreprise semble prête à risquer l'affrontement, peut-être encouragée par le soutien implicite de l'administration Trump. Meta a également récemment abandonné son programme de fact-checking tiers sur Facebook et Instagram, laissant penser que d'autres géants pourraient suivre l'exemple de Google. Ce bras de fer pourrait redéfinir les relations entre les régulateurs européens et les titans américains du numérique, dans une lutte qui s'annonce féroce. Hébergé par Acast.

We dove into "NavBoost," a technique where Google rewards high engagement and brand signals with better rankings. Think clicks, brand searches, and even driving directions contributing to a business's prominence.Greg and David noted how brands dominate the search game. We broke down why engagement—real photos, reviews, and strong brand presence—creates a feedback loop that propels rankings. This led us to the age-old debate: does SEO success mean going beyond Google? Our consensus leaned toward balancing on-platform optimization with off-platform brand-building.ChatGPT: A Game-Changer in Google's AI Playground: We dove into the competitive shake-up in search, sparked by ChatGPT's rise since late 2022. This dynamic newcomer has lit a fire under Google, which has enjoyed dominance for decades. While ChatGPT hasn't toppled Google's traffic, its user base is reshaping behaviors, with 19% reportedly favoring ChatGPT over Google when forced to choose.Competition from ChatGPT has catalyzed innovation at Google, pushing AI tools like Gemini into the spotlight. Discussions about AI in search touched on knowledge graphs, generative AI, and how platforms like Apple are slowly carving their niches.One standout point? ChatGPT's integration into daily life for tasks like local searches and knowledge-based queries is altering habits, making Google more of a secondary option for some. We see these shifts leading to a long-term evolution in how people search—no seismic shifts yet, but wedges are forming in Google's monopoly. As AI-driven tools improve, we're likely witnessing the beginning of a multi-player field in search and beyond.DMA and the Search Transformation of 2024: We unpacked how 2024 is shaping up as a pivotal year for search, driven by regulatory crackdowns and competitive pressures. The European Union's Digital Markets Act (DMA) is taking center stage, with investigations into Google's practices for flights, hotels, and shopping. We noted Google's “malicious compliance” tactics—like reverting to ten blue links—to generate user dissatisfaction and push back against regulators.Amid the antitrust buzz, we reflected on the potential fragmentation of search. ChatGPT and similar AI tools are gaining traction, compelling Google to innovate under pressure. We agreed this regulatory momentum, alongside AI advancements, might dramatically reshape how we search and retrieve information in the coming years.With the possibility of stricter regulations in the U.S. on the horizon, the monopoly grip on search seems less certain. Looking ahead, we're optimistic about the dynamic changes brewing in the industry—there's never been a more exciting time to explore search innovation.The Near Memo is a weekly conversation about Search, Social, and Commerce: What happened, why it matters, and the implications for local businesses and national brands.Ep 188Subscribe to our 3x per week newsletter at https://www.nearmedia.co/subscribe/

OpenAI heeft nog steeds geen zogeheten 'opt-out'-optie voor mediamakers, terwijl dat vorig jaar mei al beloofd was. Toen kondigde de ChatGPT-maker aan dat er vanaf 2025 een opt-out-optie moet zijn. Niels Kooloos vertelt erover in deze Tech Update. De opt-out-optie van OpenAI had gestalte moeten krijgen in een soort mediamanager. Daarin moeten mediamakers kunnen aangeven welke werken ze wel en niet mee willen laten nemen in trainingsdatasets van OpenAI. Ingewijden melden echter aan techwebsite TechCrunch dat werknemers van OpenAI zich niet eens kunnen heugen dat er überhaupt aan een mediamanger gewerkt wordt. Ondertussen is OpenAI wel verwikkeld in een flink aantal rechtszaken die gaan over auteursrecht en intelectueel eigendom. Zo klaagde The New York Times het bedrijf in 2023 al aan omdat er zonder toestemming krantenartikelen gebruikt zouden zijn voor de training van ChatGPT.

Send us a textStephanie Verilhac of Siinda discusses the EU's Digital Markets Act (DMA) and its impact on search behavior. Siinda's research with Near Media showed Google's dominance persists despite compliance changes, with users favoring its ecosystem. Regional differences in search trends were highlighted, including Irish “near me” preferences, French brand loyalty, and Germans' ad clicks. Photos, reviews, and business websites play key roles in user decisions. Verilhac noted Google's partial adherence to the DMA and challenges for smaller businesses in competing with large aggregators. Future DMA updates and expanded research are expected. In Episode 187 we interview guest Stephanie Verilhac of Siinda. Siinda is an industry association that brings together agencies and technology companies in the local search and “on demand” industry sectors. We explored the application of the EU's Digital Markets Act (DMA) and its effects on search behavior. Stephanie highlighted Siinda's role in supporting digital businesses across Europe and its interest in user responses to Google's compliance measures.We focused on joint Siinda/Near Media consumer behavior research, examining Google search results in Ireland, France, and Germany for kitchen remodeling services. While Google implemented changes to align with the DMA's anti-self-preferencing rules, the study revealed that user engagement overwhelmingly favored Google's own ecosystem, including its Local Pack and Maps. The newly introduced "Places Sites" module showed limited visibility and minimal clicks compared to Google's properties.Stephanie emphasized notable regional differences: Irish users prioritized "near me" searches, French users leaned on brand recognition, and Germans showed a higher propensity to click ads. Cultural diversity across the EU proved significant in shaping search behavior. Photos and reviews emerged as key factors influencing decisions, with users frequently clicking through to business websites for final evaluations.The conversation also touched on DMA compliance challenges, with Stephanie noting Google's approach often skirts full adherence. While ads are open to all businesses in theory, financial realities favor large aggregators over smaller players.As the European Commission continues enforcing the DMA under its newly appointed leadership, Stephanie predicted more scrutiny on gatekeepers and potential updates in 2025. Siinda offers resources on their website, cinda.org, and plans to expand research to additional markets.The Near Memo is a weekly conversation about Search, Social, and Commerce: What happened, why it matters, and the implications for local businesses and national brands.EP 187 Near MemoSubscribe to our 3x per week newsletter at https://www.nearmedia.co/subscribe/

Apple and Meta go to war over interoperability vs. privacy. The two are warring in Europe over the balance between interoperability and privacy, Reuters reports. The fight focuses on the European Union's Digital Markets Act (DMA), a competition regulation that requires designated gatekeepers (including Apple and Meta) not to restrict rivals' access to so-called core platform services. California can ban new gas cars starting in 2035.

X is toch geen zogeheten poortwachter onder de Digital Markets Act (DMA) van de Europese Unie. Dat concludeert de Europese Commissie na onderzoek. Niels Kooloos vertelt erover in deze Tech Update. Elon Musk beweerde zelf al maanden dat X niet onder de DMA valt. Platformen die dat wel doen moeten aan een aantal critera voldoen. Zo moeten ze onder andere minstens 45 miljoen Europese gebruikers per jaar hebben, een bepaalde jaarlijkse omzet draaien en een belangrijke schakel tussen consumenten en bedrijven vormen. Aan dat laatste criterium voldoet X niet, zegt de Europese Commissie nu.  Daardoor hoeft het platform van Musk zich aan minder regels te houden in de Europese Unie en kan X geen boetes opgelegd krijgen die op kunnen lopen tot 10 procent van de jaarlijkse omzet. De Europese Commissie zegt daar wel bij dat de conclusie ten alle tijde herzien kan worden.  Verder in deze Tech Update Qualcomm zal pas na de Amerikaanse presidentsverkiezingen een serieus bod op Intel doen, melden ingewijden aan de Hongkongse krant South China Morning Post   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Send us a text Google's Place Sites: A Compliance Gesture or A True Shift in Search?Google is rolling out a new feature called "Place Sites" in North America, following its initial launch in Europe as part of compliance with the Digital Markets Act (DMA). The feature presents a carousel of aggregator search results, such as Yelp and TripAdvisor, prominently placed in top positions for local queries like restaurants. The idea is to redirect traffic to competitors to address accusations of Google self-preferencing. However, our testing shows that user engagement has been very, very low, with people rarely interacting with the carousel despite its visibility.This could be a preemptive move by Google to fend off similar regulatory pressures in North America, where laws against self-preferencing are still in discussion. Or it might be part of a larger strategy to boost Google's new AI-organized search results that keep users within Google's ecosystem. By offering the AI-refined, visually driven search results, Google could be aiming to increase search volume and maintain its dominance in the market. That all being said, the Places Sites feature is seen more as a compliance gesture than a game-changer for user experience.Allure Aesthetics' Review Fraud Highlights Google's Inaction & Continuing Consumer HarmAllure Aesthetics, a plastic surgery clinic in Seattle, has been caught in a major review fraud scandal. After being convicted in 2024 for illegal review practices—such as forcing patients to sign NDAs to prevent negative reviews and having employees post fake ones—Allure was fined $5 million. Despite this, Google has taken little action to remove the fraudulent reviews from its platform. As of now, the clinic still ranks highly in search results with an impressive 4.8 rating based on over 900 reviews, many of which were accumulated during the period of fraudulent activity.Despite plenty of media coverage and efforts to report the fraud, Google has not removed the questionable reviews or penalized the clinic in its local search results. The scandal underscores a larger issue: Google's inconsistent approach to handling cases of review fraud, even when businesses have been legally penalized.FTC Targets AI Tool Rytr for Enabling Fake Review GenerationThe FTC has taken action against Rytr, an AI-powered writing tool, accusing it of facilitating the creation of thousands of fake reviews. With a simple interface that allows users to generate human-sounding testimonials at scale, the tool has enabled some subscribers to produce over 10,000 reviews each. The FTC's complaint argues that the tool's only practical use is to produce deceptive reviews, leading to an enforcement action that requires the company to shut down its review-generating functionality and undergo 20 years of monitoring.The case has sparked debate, with some FTC members arguing that the action is based on hypothetical harm, while others emphasize the risk of AI tools being misused for fraud. The FTC's move raises questions about the broader role of AI in generating content and its potential to facilitate large-scale review abuse, with concerns growing over how much consumers can trust online reviews in the face of increasing fraud.AI Notes: These summaries were written by ChatGPT from transcripts of the recording.

Alle Apple-Fans warten gespannt auf die Einführung von Apple Intelligence. Apple hat die Einführung dieser Funktionen in der EU verzögert, da unklar ist, ob sie den Anforderungen des Digital Markets Act (DMA) entsprechen. Dieses Gesetz verlangt von besonders großen Plattformen (sog. »Gatekeepern«) umfangreiche Zugeständnisse, mit dem Ziel, den Wettbewerb zu fördern. Wettbewerb bedeutet in diesem Fall, dass konkurrierende Anbieter (von KI-Systemen) die gleichen Chancen haben müssen wie Apples eigene KI-Lösung. Es klingt, als würde hier ein modulares Betriebssystem gefordert. Doch Apple verfolgt keinen modularen Ansatz, sondern einen integrierten Ansatz. In der Sendung zeigen wir, worin der Konflikt aus technischer Sicht besteht. Dabei gehen wir nicht nur auf Apple Intelligence ein, sondern auch auf andere Funktionen, die Apple derzeit in der EU zurückhält.

In this episode of The Tech Talks Daily Podcast, I sit down with Christopher Meredith, Senior VP of Business Development at Xsolla for EMEA, to explore the latest trends and developments shaping the video game industry. Xsolla, a global leader in video game commerce, plays a vital role in helping developers and publishers fund, market, and monetize their games worldwide. With Chris's extensive background, including roles at Sony PlayStation and Warner Bros, he shares his valuable insights on how the gaming landscape is evolving and how Xsolla is supporting the entire lifecycle of game development. We begin by discussing Xsolla's unique approach to supporting developers, from securing funding and monetization strategies to providing ongoing assistance through product suites and integration roadmaps. Chris explains how Xsolla sponsors industry events and conferences to connect developers with investors and offers expertise in navigating the complex world of game publishing. As the gaming industry becomes more diverse and dynamic, Xsolla adapts to meet the evolving needs of developers, helping them maximize revenue and grow their businesses. A key focus of our conversation is the impact of the EU's Digital Markets Act (DMA) on game developers and publishers. Chris highlights how the DMA is set to level the playing field by increasing transparency, reducing gatekeeping, and allowing smaller developers more direct access to consumers. He discusses how this regulation could lead to lower commission rates, greater interoperability between platforms, and improved search and discovery algorithms that benefit indie developers. Chris also touches on the DMA's potential to reduce platform lock-in effects through data portability provisions, empowering developers to have more control over their products. We also explore the trends Chris has observed at recent industry events like Gamescom and Devcom. Mobile gaming continues to surge, supported by the rise in cashless transactions and digital wallets. Indie game development is capturing an ever-growing share of the market, thanks to innovations in cloud gaming and influencer marketing. Chris shares insights into how the industry is evolving and what Xsolla is doing to help developers and publishers adapt to these changes, including expanding their presence in key territories and developing new tools to meet the bespoke needs of their partners.

This Day in Legal History: Lord Haw-Haw Sentenced to HangOn September 19, 1945, William Joyce, infamously known as "Lord Haw-Haw," was sentenced to death by a British court for treason. Joyce, an American-born British subject, became notorious for his English-language radio broadcasts during World War II, where he spread Nazi propaganda designed to demoralize Allied forces and sway public opinion. His broadcasts, aired from Germany, ridiculed Britain and encouraged defeatism, earning him the mocking nickname "Lord Haw-Haw" due to his affected, sneering tone.Interestingly, before aligning with Nazi Germany, Joyce had served as an informant for the British government on Irish Republican Army (IRA) activities. In the 1920s, Joyce had strong anti-communist and anti-Irish Republican sentiments, and his knowledge of far-right politics in the U.K. led him to assist British authorities in monitoring IRA movements. However, his extreme right-wing views eventually drew him to fascism, and by the late 1930s, he joined Oswald Mosley's British Union of Fascists before fleeing to Germany at the onset of World War II.The nickname "Lord Haw-Haw" was coined by British journalist Jonah Barrington in reference to the exaggerated aristocratic accent of an anonymous broadcaster. Though it initially referred to another German propagandist, the label stuck to Joyce, who became the most infamous voice behind Nazi broadcasts. His broadcasts, filled with mockery of the British government and predictions of their downfall, made him a household name in Britain, and the face of enemy propaganda. Despite his American birth, Joyce's use of a British passport for his travels was enough for the court to convict him of treason. His execution in January 1946 marked the end of one of the most infamous figures of wartime propaganda.The Compton Courthouse in Los Angeles suffered two major floods in January 2024, caused by burst water valves, resulting in closures and significant disruptions to court operations. Nearly 5,000 cases were impacted, and emergency repairs cost California almost $2.6 million. This courthouse, along with many others in L.A. County, is deteriorating due to a "run to failure" maintenance approach, where repairs are made only after systems break. Budget constraints have forced the California Judicial Council to prioritize only critical repairs, leaving many courthouses vulnerable to failure. Compton is a "medium priority" for repairs, raising concerns about more urgent locations, such as the Clara Shortridge Foltz Criminal Justice Center, which has also faced severe plumbing and hazardous material issues.Los Angeles has 36 courthouses, many of which are well past their 50-year lifespans, and costly maintenance bills continue to rise. The challenges are compounded by seismic safety risks, as many of these buildings are not built to withstand earthquakes, presenting a significant danger to the public. Renovation and replacement of courthouses are progressing slowly, with only a few new facilities funded each year. Experts suggest modernizing courthouse designs and incorporating technology to reduce the need for large, outdated structures. However, without substantial investment, L.A.'s court infrastructure remains vulnerable to both natural disasters and everyday wear and tear.L.A. Courthouses Crumble With ‘Run to Failure' MaintenanceSecond indoor flood causes Compton Courthouse to close until further noticeCOMPTON COURTHOUSE CLOSED FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS DUE TO ADDITIONAL FLOODING ISSUES AFFECTING ELEVATORS AND LOBBAlso in California legal news, a judge has denied a request to reopen Golden Gate University's law school, which closed after 123 years of operation. California Superior Court Judge Richard Ulmer ruled against the plaintiffs, a group of former students and alumni, who had sought an injunction to reinstate the school. The plaintiffs had sued for breach of contract, claiming the university kept students in the dark about its financial struggles before announcing the closure.Golden Gate University cited declining enrollment, poor bar exam pass rates, and a weak job market as reasons for shutting down its law program. While most of the affected students have transferred to other American Bar Association-accredited schools, such as the University of San Francisco School of Law and Mitchell Hamline School of Law, the plaintiffs argue that the school failed to provide adequate transfer options.Although the school will not reopen, the plaintiffs can still pursue monetary damages for claims such as breach of contract and false advertising. A hearing is scheduled for October 22 to determine whether their case will proceed. Golden Gate Law is the latest in a series of law schools nationwide facing closures due to similar challenges.California judge rejects bid to reopen 123-year-old law school | ReutersMark Esper, former U.S. Secretary of Defense, joined Squire Patton Boggs as a part-time senior adviser, where he will focus on advising clients on national security and foreign policy. Although Esper has extensive experience in government and previously worked for defense contractor Raytheon, he will not lobby for the firm's clients in Congress or executive branch agencies. His role will leverage his public policy expertise from over 30 years in high-level government positions.Esper's move comes after his public break with Donald Trump in 2020, particularly over disagreements about invoking the Insurrection Act during protests following George Floyd's murder. He has since emerged as a critic of Trump, calling him a “threat to democracy” while also critiquing President Biden. While at Squire Patton Boggs, Esper will continue his work with venture capital firm Red Cell Partners and European think tank GLOBSEC.The firm views Esper's hire as a key step toward becoming a leader in national security advisory services. His work is expected to focus more on helping multinational corporations navigate the intersection of economic policy and national security rather than direct governmental advocacy.Trump Defense Secretary Esper Joins Squire Patton BoggsEx-Trump defense secretary Esper joins law firm Squire Patton Boggs | ReutersSenate Democrats are working to strike a deal with Republicans to confirm a backlog of President Biden's judicial nominees before the end of the year. Senate Judiciary Chair Dick Durbin is hopeful that Republicans will agree to a package of nominees, a practice that was more common in less partisan times. With the Senate's slim Democratic majority, confirmations have been challenging, particularly for nominees like Rebecca Pennell and Mustafa Kasubhai, whose votes were delayed due to attendance issues and GOP opposition.Some nominees, such as Charnelle Bjelkengren, faced significant hurdles, with Bjelkengren withdrawing earlier this year due to a failed confirmation hearing. Kasubhai, who is still awaiting a vote, has been scrutinized by Republicans over his stance on diversity and past writings. Additionally, Democrats have faced internal opposition, with key senators refusing to support Adeel Mangi's nomination due to allegations of affiliations with controversial groups. The Senate faces a tight deadline, with a limited five-week "lame duck" session following the upcoming election recess, during which they must juggle these nominations alongside other legislative priorities.Democrats Look to Strike Deal With Republicans on Judicial PicksEU antitrust regulators have initiated proceedings to ensure Apple complies with the Digital Markets Act (DMA), which requires the company to open its closed ecosystem to rivals. The European Commission aims to clarify what Apple must do to meet its obligations, focusing on iOS interoperability for devices like smartwatches, headphones, and VR headsets, as well as how Apple handles third-party and developer requests for connectivity. The Commission expects to finalize the guidelines within six months, with Apple at risk of fines up to 10% of its annual global turnover if it fails to comply. Apple has expressed willingness to cooperate but warned that opening its systems could expose users to security risks.EU antitrust regulators tell Apple how to comply with tech rules | ReutersAnd something of a double-dip in the Apple news bowl, in a piece I wrote for Forbes I spoke about the European Union's recent win in a legal battle requiring Ireland to collect €13 billion in unpaid taxes from Apple–a significant victory in the fight against multinational tax avoidance. Although the EU's highest court upheld the decision, Ireland remains reluctant to claim the windfall, as doing so could threaten its status as a low-tax haven that attracts large corporations. Ireland had argued, alongside Apple, that the taxes were not owed, reflecting its desire to maintain control over its tax policies.This case highlights the tension between national tax sovereignty and EU regulations aimed at curbing unfair competition through favorable tax deals. While the EU can force Ireland to reclaim the unpaid taxes, it cannot dictate how the country spends the money, leaving the Irish government with a difficult decision. Ireland's low corporate tax rate has been key to its economic growth, but the Apple ruling could have global ramifications as more countries adopt minimum tax frameworks to address tax avoidance by multinational corporations.The case underscores broader issues in international tax law, as countries like Luxembourg and the Netherlands, also known for favorable tax policies, may face similar pressures. While Ireland is legally obligated to collect the money, its cautious approach reflects a concern about maintaining its attractiveness to global businesses. The funds remain in escrow, and Ireland has yet to reveal how it plans to utilize the money, which is equivalent to 2.43% of its GDP.You Can Give Ireland Tax Revenue—But Can You Make Ireland Spend It?

Thierry Breton a claqué la porte de la Commission Européenne. Ce chevalier blanc des droits européens contre les géants du numérique en faisait-il trop ? Thierry Breton claque la porte de la Commission Européenne, en froid avec la présidente Ursula von der Leyen. Fervent défenseur de la souveraineté technologique européenne, Thierry Breton a oeuvré ardemment à la défense de ce qu'il estimait être les intérêts des Européens. Son nom restera attaché à des textes majeurs, tels que le Digital Services Act (DSA), le Digital Markets Act (DMA) ou encore l'IA Act sur l'intelligence artificielle. Cependant, sa ligne dure en matière de régulation n'a pas été sans controverse, perçue comme excessive au risque de freiner l'innovation.

Send us a textGoogle and Booking: The Symbiotic Gatekeeper Relationship in European Hotel Search - We dive into our recent  user behavior research findings about hotel searches in Europe. We recruited 100 users each  from Spain, France, and Germany, asking them to find hotels in Paris or Rome, and observed how they interacted with Google's search results.The European hotel market is quite distinct, with behavior in hotel searches differing drastically from other verticals, as well as across countries. This, coupled with Google's persistent self-preferencing, poses challenges for fair competition.EU Court Upholds €2.5 Billion Fine Against Google: Antitrust Ruling Could Shape Future Regulations: In a landmark decision, the European Court of Justice upheld a €2.5 billion fine against Google for antitrust violations in its Shopping Search case. This ruling marks a significant win for regulators, setting the stage for broader action against Google's self-preferencing practices across multiple sectors.The case, which dates back over a decade, focused on Google's practice of promoting its own shopping services at the expense of competitors. Despite Google's appeal, the court sided with regulators, reinforcing the original decision. While the fine represents a small fraction of Google's revenue, the ruling sends a strong message about the EU's determination to hold tech giants accountable.The key takeaway? The court highlighted that Google's use of "boxes" in search results, which showcase its own services prominently, was a major factor in the decision. This could have serious implications for other verticals like local and hotel search, where similar self-preferencing behavior is prevalent.Moreover, the Digital Markets Act (DMA) gives the EU further tools to regulate Google's behavior across sectors. Fines under the DMA could reach up to 20% of global revenue for repeat violations, raising the stakes significantly.With this ruling in place, it's clear that European regulators are prepared to push harder on Google's dominance, not just in shopping but across the entire search ecosystem. Leveling the Playing Field: Remedies for Google's Self-Preferencing PracticesIn the ongoing conversation about Google's self-preferencing, the focus turned to potential remedies in light of mounting regulatory pressure. We discussed various solutions that could address the issues raised by Google's dominance, particularly in light of the European Court of Justice ruling.Ultimately, the team concluded that Google's self-preferencing creates an unfair advantage for itself and other monopolistic platforms. Remedies should focus on leveling the playing field, encouraging competition, and limiting Google's ability to monetize every user interaction. As regulation heats up, Google's dominance across industries—especially in search—faces significant challenges in the coming years.The Near Memo is a weekly conversation about Search, Social, and Commerce: What happened, why it matters, and the implications for local businesses and national brands.Ep 174 Near MemoSubscribe to our 3x per week newsletter at https://www.nearmedia.co/subscribe/

Whatsapp en Messenger, de berichtendiensten van Meta, kunnen binnenkort ook chatten met andere berichtendiensten zoals Signal en iMessage. Dat heeft Meta bekendgemaakt in een blogpost. Niels Kooloos vertelt erover in deze Tech Update. Alleen Europese gebruikers van Whatsapp en Messenger gaan de mogelijkheid krijgen om ook te chatten met gebruikers van andere berichtendiensten. Meta wil namelijk aan de Digital Markets Act (DMA) voldoen.  Wanneer de functionaliteit precies beschikbaar wordt is nog niet helemaal duidelijk, maar volgens de meeste ontwikkelaars kunnen we ergens dit jaar de optie verwachten. Vanaf 2025 moet het ook mogelijk worden om groepschats te maken met gebruikers van andere berichtendiensten en vanaf 2027 moet er ook ge(video)beld kunnen worden.

Terwijl Nvidia miljarden dollars aan beurswaarde ziet verdampen en Intel de zoveelste mislukking verwerkt, is er bij Qualcomm juist wat te vieren vandaag: het chipbedrijf komt met goedkopere Snapdragon X Plus-laptopchips. Niels Kooloos vertelt erover in deze Tech Update. Centraal bij de Snapdragon X Plus staat dat die veeleisende AI-taken uit kan voeren, maar tegelijkertijd wel goedkoop blijft. Zo zouden de chip al te vinden moeten zijn in laptops die nog geen 700 euro kosten. Qualcomm ging eerder dit jaar de samenwerking met Microsoft aan om de Surface-laptops van het bedrijf te voorzien van Snapdragon-processeren. Zo moet CoPilot+, de AI-hulp van Microsoft, zonder de hulp van servers kunnen draaien.  Verder in deze Tech Update: De Europese 'branchevereniging' van consumentenorganisaties BEUC klaagt dat een boel techbedrijven zich niet aan de Digital Markets Act (DMA) houden NASA, ESA en JAXA willen GPS naar de maan brengen  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Guest post by Mike Harris, Partner, Cyber Security, Grant Thornton With the first independent auditor reports as part of the Digital Services Act due this month, major social media and search engine companies face a new era of transparency as part of an increased regulatory stance in Europe. Digital Services Act and Digital Markets Act will help tackle disinformation, boost safety of minors online and dilute Big Tech's market power. Different regulatory philosophies are still being ironed out, with Ireland's principals-based approach contrasting with continentalEurope's more prescriptive enforcement. For those who have observed the financial sector over the past two decades, watching tech companies understand their obligations under Europe's Digital Services Act (DSA) and the Digital Markets Act (DMA) may evoke a sense of deja vu. Since the turn of the millennium, Europe has seen significant developments in financial regulation, particularly in response to the 2008 economic crisis. Frameworks such as the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (MiFID) and European Market Infrastructure Regulation (EMIR) sought to increase competition and offer greater consumer protection as regulators navigated a landscape of competing interests and complex ecosystems. The early days of these rules were marked with fraught exchanges as companies worked their way through implementation. Before long, they just became another cost of doing business. Tech companies are experiencing a similar shift in regulatory philosophy from a light touch to a more proactive, stringent approach as the DSA and DMA follow GDPR and the Network Information Security Directive amid a broader trend towards tighter regulation. As we approach the first independent auditor reporting period for very large online platforms (VLOPs) and very large online search engines (VLOSEs) such as Meta and Google under the new digital regime, we are in a similar spot marked by gradual adaptation, responses to emerging challenges, and a balancing act between innovation and oversight. Time to show your cards After a long, complex gestation involving various stakeholders, including the European Parliament, the Council of the European Union, and the European Commission, the proposed regulation is a new reality as tech companies enter their first reporting periods. For tech companies, this represents a significant shift as they now shoulder the burden of showing compliance with strict rules on content moderation, advertisingtransparency, and greater user choice to control what they see. The DSA and DMA are part of a single set of new rules that apply across the entire EU to regulate digital services such as online marketplaces, social networks, content-sharing platforms, app stores, and online travel and accommodation platforms. The DSA specifically targets online intermediary services by imposing strict obligations, with additional rules and obligations imposed on very large online platforms and search engines with more than 45 million monthly users in the EU. On the other hand, the DMA focuses on very large digital platforms designated as gatekeepers providing digital services allowing for a fairer business environment for users and new entrants into the market. Tech companies have been actively working to comply with the new regulations. They have changed or stopped activities they have done previously while engaging with the Commission to provide information and documentation following formal requests for information. The DMA demands that platform giants like Apple, Alphabet, and Meta become more open to competition by imposing a new set of legal requirements on more than twenty of their core platform services (CPS). Companies designated under the DMA as "gatekeepers" must make significant changes to their operations, including not discriminating against similar services or products offered by third parties on their platform. Failure to comply with the Regulations can lead to signif...

Quest'anno l'export di beni italiani crescerà del 3,7% e nel 2025 del 4,5% raggiungendo i 679 miliardi di euro. A spingere la crescita l'innovazione tecnologica in tutti i settori. È quanto emenerge dal Doing Export Report 2024 di Sace, presentato oggi, che approfondisce le potenzialità di crescita dell'export italiano e le nuove rotte su cui le imprese devono puntare. L'export crescerà nel 2024 per proseguire a un ritmo sostenuto nel prossimo triennio, con il ritorno a dinamiche di crescita simili a quelle pre-pandemia. A contribuire sarà anche il calo dell'inflazione e il conseguente progressivo taglio dei tassi di interesse, con un miglioramento delle condizioni finanziarie globali. Il valore in euro nel 2024 supererà i 650 miliardi mentre il prossimo anno raggiungerà i 679 miliardi. Si conferma il trend positivo anche per l'export nazionale di servizi, con una crescita media in valore del 4% nel 2024-2027, grazie anche al continuo sviluppo delle tecnologie digitali più avanzate (in particolare dell'intelligenza artificiale), che faranno da apripista a una nuova fase della globalizzazione. L'adozione di nuove tecnologie sta dettando l'evoluzione anche dei beni di consumo. Esportazioni in crescita, puntando sull'innovazione digitale, ma anche sulla transizione ambientale, per le imprese italiane nel prossimo biennio. A dirlo, a margine della presentazione del Doing Export Report 2024 di Sace a Milano, Alessandro Terzulli, chief economist di Sace. "Per usare un aggettivo che è ricorrente al nostro rapporto, vediamo delle prospettive brillanti. Chiaramente ci sono una serie di incognite, però noi siamo cautamente ottimisti. Prevediamo un più 3,7% per l'export italiano di beni in valore nel 2024, quindi a chiusura di questo anno, seguito da un più 4,5% nel prossimo anno. Questo che cosa vuole dire? Che partendo da 626 miliardi circa del valore di questo export nel 2023, a fine di 2025 arriveremo a un po' meno di 680, 679 per l'esattezza". Tra le geografie di destinazione ottime prospettive provengono da 14 Paesi in cui Sace è presente e verso cui lo scorso anno si sono diretti circa 80 miliardi di beni italiani, un valore che crescerà del 5,4% quest'anno e del 7% nel 2025: dall'Arabia Saudita ed Emirati Arabi Uniti a Singapore, passando per India, Vietnam e Cina; oltreoceano in Brasile, Colombia e Messico, per ritornare verso il Vecchio Continente con Serbia, Turchia e poi Marocco, Egitto e Sudafrica, "paesi che - si legge nel rapporto- si sono distinti per crescita, ambizione, trasformazione e alto potenziale". Approfondiamo il tema con Alessandro Terzulli, Capo economista di Sace.Beghe per le prime tre per capitalizzazzione a Wall Street: Apple e Microsoft con Bruxelles, Nvidia soffre un po' di realizziSenza tregua. I fari dell'Unione Europea sono nuovamente puntati su Apple, che solo qualche giorno fa aveva annunciato che a causa delle stringenti regole imposte da Bruxelles, la sua nuova intelligenza artificiale (Apple Intelligence) non arriverà in Europa. Almeno non subito. Neanche il tempo di analizzare le conseguenze di questa decisione, che dall'Ue arriva notizia di una nuova indagine nei confronti del gigante di Cupertino. La Commissione Europea ha infatti informato Apple della sua opinione preliminare secondo cui le regole dell'App Store violano il Digital Markets Act (Dma), poiché impediscono agli sviluppatori di app di indirizzare liberamente i consumatori verso canali alternativi per offerte e contenuti. Un'indagine che suona un po' come una bocciatura, verso tutti gli sforzi fatti da Apple che da mesi sta cercando di adeguare i suoi sistemi operativi alle nuove regole europee. Oggi la Commissione Ue ha informato Microsoft della sua opinione preliminare secondo il gigante Usa ha violato le norme antitrust europee vincolando lo strumento per la comunicazione Teams ai prodotti Office 365 e Microsoft 365. Nella comunicazione degli addebiti, ulteriore passo nell'indagine avviata a luglio 2023, constata che Microsoft è dominante a livello mondiale nelle applicazioni di produttività 'software as a service' per uso professionale. E richiama il timore che almeno dall'aprile 2019 Microsoft abbia collegato Teams alle sue principali applicazioni Saas, limitando la concorrenza e difendendo la propria posizione di mercato. Se Apple e Microsoft hanno a che fare con il regolatore europeo, Nvidia va incontro a qualche difficoltà sul mercato. La società californiana produttrice di microchip, proprio grazie all'AI e diventata per un paio di giorni l'azienda quotata con il maggior valore al mondo, pari a 3,34 trilioni di dollari. Per poi rintracciare in questi giorni e tornare ad essere la terza dietro a Microsoft e Apple. Oggi Nvidia Corp (+0,78%) tenta il rimbalzo dopo aver perso alla vigilia il 6,68%, dopo il -4% della scorsa settimana, la prima in negativo dopo otto rialzi consecutivi. Ne parliamo con Alessandro Plateroti, Direttore di NewsMondo.it.Centromarca: "Governo favorisca fusioni e acquisizioni"Oggi si è svolta l'assemblea di Centromarca. L'analisi dei bilanci delle aziende aderenti a Centromarca mostra che tra il 2020 e il 2022 l'incidenza dei costi sostenuti per l acquisto di materie prime è cresciuta dal 54,5% al 57,8%. Energia elettrica, acqua e gas hanno visto il loro peso aumentare dall'1,3% al 2,4%. Gli extracosti sono stati in parte assorbiti nei conti economici e in parte trasferiti a valle con estrema gradualità. Per effetto della crescita dei costi l'utile netto complessivo è calato dal 5,5% al 4,6%. A una fase critica per la congiuntura e i mercati l'industria di marca, nel suo insieme, ha risposto mantenendo o potenziando gli investimenti. Il 6% delle entrate è stato destinato alla ricerca e allo sviluppo. Il 63% delle aziende ha aumentato gli impieghi in tecnologie digitali, come le piattaforme di e-commerce, l intelligenza artificiale e gli strumenti per la gestione dei big data. Oltre il 70% ha aumentato gli stanziamenti destinati alla sostenibilità, con focus sulla riduzione delle emissioni di anidride carbonica e sull'adozione di pratiche di economia circolare. "Abbiamo bisogno di una politica industriale che favorisca fusioni e acquisizioni, perché la taglia delle nostre imprese ci penalizza nel mercato globale". Lo afferma il presidente di Centromarca Francesco Mutti, secondo il quale "è fondamentale finalizzare le risorse pubbliche sui comparti strategici e creare le condizioni migliori per gli investimenti, in particolare quelli destinati alla digitalizzazione e allo sviluppo sostenibile". In generale competitività, innovazione, sostenibilità, legalità sono gli ambiti sui quali Centromarca ha richiamato l'attenzione del governo nel corso dell'incontro 'Geopolitica, società, innovazione - Scenari e priorità per l'Industria di Marca', promosso alla Triennale di Milano in concomitanza con l'assemblea dell'associazione. Approfondiamo il tema con Francesco Mutti, amministratore delegato di Mutti SpA e presidente di Centromarca.Confesercenti: con boom dell’online -5,2mld tasse in 10 anniIn vista dei prossimi saldi, che partiranno il 6 luglio, Confesercenti ricorda che, nei primi tre mesi del 2024, ha visto registrare la scomparsa di 9.828 imprese, a fronte di un boom degli acquisti online. Con la riduzione dei negozi, si riduce anche la base imponibile per il fisco. Secondo le stime di Confesercenti, dal 2014 ad oggi, la desertificazione commerciale ha portato ad una perdita cumulata di 5,2 miliardi di euro di tasse negli ultimi dieci anni. A perderci, fisco centrale ed enti locali: del gettito sfumato, infatti, il 17,4% -910 milioni – sarebbe stato di IMU, il 12,6% – o 660 milioni di euro – di TARI, il 42,7% (2,24 miliardi) di Irpef, cui si aggiungono 223 milioni (il 4,3%) di addizionale regionale e comunale Irpef, 700 milioni di euro di Irap (il 13,4%) e infine 510 milioni di euro di altri tributi comunali (9,7% del totale). Previsione per andamento consumi di Confesercenti: Il rallentamento dell'inflazione e il taglio del cuneo fiscale sostengono la tenuta dei consumi: nel 2024, secondo le previsioni Confesercenti, la spesa media annuale delle famiglie dovrebbe attestarsi su 34.527 euro l'anno, con un aumento di +1.302 euro rispetto al 2023. Un salto però ancora 'amplificato' dalla crescita dei prezzi, che pure continua anche se più lentamente: in termini reali, infatti, la spesa media annuale delle famiglie prevista per il 2024 si riduce a 29.126 euro. Si tratta dunque di un risultato in lieve crescita (+288 euro in termini reali, circa il +1%) sul 2023, ma ancora distante dai numeri prepandemia: -1.604 euro (il -5,2%) di spesa annua in meno per famiglia rispetto al 2019. E' quanto emerge dal dossier Confesercenti e Cer "Commercio e consumi. Tra crescita nominale e decrescita reale". Ne parliamo con Patrizia De Luise, presidente nazionale Confesercenti.

Just months after many of the mandates in the European Union's Digital Markets Act (DMA) have gone into effect, interoperability and data portability are fresh on the policy world's mind. But what does the history of interoperability suggest about its ability to help the Internet regain its former openness?Alan Rozenshtein, Associate Professor of Law at the University of Minnesota and Senior Editor at Lawfare, spoke with Alexander Rigby, a law clerk on Delaware Court of Chancery, and Chinmayi Sharma, Associate Professor at Fordham Law School.

Il governo giovedì ha dato il via libera al decreto legge sulle materie prime critiche e al disegno di legge sull economia dello spazio. «Due importanti provvedimenti legislativi che riguardano il futuro» ha commentato il ministro del Made in Italy Adolfo Urso.Il nuovo decreto per la promozione di materie prime strategiche allineerà l'Italia al Regolamento Europeo per garantire approvvigionamenti sicuri e sostenibili.Tra i punti: istituisce al Ministero dell'ambiente un unico punto di contatto per il rilascio dei titolo abilitativi sull'estrazione e sul riciclo di materie prime critiche. Iter celeri anche per il rinnovo delle concessioni, dimezzati (non devono superare i 10 mesi). Si parla anche dell'istituzione di un comitato tecnico e di royalties per le concessioni minerarie. Intanto giovedì a Firenze Erion Compliance Organization ha presentato una ricerca che ha come focus proprio il problema della gestione dei rifiuti (a livello europeo) e la scarsità di risorse in Europa. Approfondiamo il tema con Danilo Bonato, Direttore di Erion Compliance Organization.Ue, Store di Apple viola mercato digitale: via a nuova indagine. La società: già apportato modificheSenza tregua. I fari dell Unione Europea sono nuovamente puntati su Apple, che solo qualche giorno fa aveva annunciato che a causa delle stringenti regole imposte da Bruxelles, la sua nuova intelligenza artificiale (Apple Intelligence) non arriverà in Europa. Almeno non subito. Neanche il tempo di analizzare le conseguenze di questa decisione, che dall Ue arriva notizia di una nuova indagine nei confronti del gigante di Cupertino. La Commissione Europea ha infatti informato Apple della sua opinione preliminare secondo cui le regole dell App Store violano il Digital Markets Act (Dma), poiché impediscono agli sviluppatori di app di indirizzare liberamente i consumatori verso canali alternativi per offerte e contenuti. Inoltre, la Commissione ha avviato una nuova procedura di non conformità - sempre nei confronti di ì Apple - per il timore che i suoi nuovi requisiti contrattuali per gli sviluppatori di app di terze parti e gli app store, inclusa la nuova Core Technology Fee di Apple, non siano in grado di garantire l effettiva conformità al Dma. «Nessuna di queste condizioni commerciali consente agli sviluppatori di orientare liberamente i propri clienti. Ad esempio, gli sviluppatori non possono fornire informazioni sui prezzi all interno dell applicazione o comunicare in qualsiasi altro modo con i loro clienti per promuovere offerte disponibili su canali di distribuzione alternativi». Un'indagine che suona un po come una bocciatura, verso tutti gli sforzi fatti da Apple che da mesi sta cercando di adeguare i suoi sistemi operativi alle nuove regole europee. Nel primo pomeriggio è arrivata la risposta della società di Cupertino: «Nel corso degli ultimi mesi, Apple ha apportato una serie di modifiche per conformarsi alla Dma in risposta al feedback degli sviluppatori e della Commissione Europea. Siamo certi che il nostro piano sia conforme alla legge e stimiamo che oltre il 99% degli sviluppatori pagherebbe ad Apple commissioni uguali o inferiori in base ai nuovi termini commerciali che abbiamo creato», è il commento ufficiale. Intanto proprio l'azienda di Cupertino scende in campo con sempre più convinzione nella "battaglia" sull'intelligenza artificiale: secondo un rapporto del Wall Street Journal, il colosso americano starebbe discutendo anche con Meta la possibilità di integrare nei suoi sistemi l'IA della società di Mark Zuckerberg. Durante l'ultima conferenza per sviluppatori Wwdc 2024 che si è tenuta il 10 giugno, Apple ha svelato sia Apple Intelligence che una partnership con OpenAI per integrare ChatGpt sui sistemi operativi di Cupertino. Nel mentre però le regole UE rallentano Apple Intelligence. La società di Cupertino ha annunciato che ritarderà il lancio di alcune nuove funzioni di intelligenza artificiale perché le regole dell UE impongono di garantire che i prodotti e i servizi concorrenti possano funzionare con i suoi dispositivi. L azienda ha dichiarato che queste funzioni - Phone Mirroring, SharePlay Screen Sharing e Apple Intelligence - non saranno distribuite agli utenti dell UE quest anno. Ne parliamo con Alessandro Plateroti, nuovo Direttore di NewsMondo.it.

In this week's Roundtable, the squad dives into the exciting news of a greenlit sequel to the Super Mario Brothers movie, with production once again helmed by Illumination. We speculate on the potential for spinoffs and the broader implications for video game adaptations. The conversation then shifts to Microsoft's landmark recognition of Activision Blizzard's 600-person union, which focuses on quality assurance employees, sparking a debate on whether this will pave the way for more unions across the gaming industry. We also dissect the implications of the EU's Digital Markets Act (DMA) coming into effect, Apple's aggressive moves, and what this means for the future of app distribution. Lastly, we delve into Mattel's newly announced co-development deal, spurred by the recent success of the Barbie movie, that pushes the company deeper into mobile game development. We end by pondering whether this marks a new trend for toy companies leveraging their IP in the digital gaming space.
