> "give sellers access to their marketing or advertising performance data on the platform"
Does anyone know what this is referring to? Because it could be referring to effectiveness of App Store ads, or it could be referring to the practice of spying on users. The latter is prohibited on the iOS App Store, but that restriction would be unfair.
As for messaging: what protocol are they arbitrarily choosing? Given they've repeatedly attacked encryption as well why should we trust the EU to select an actual secure and private protocol, and are they willing to pay to update all existing devices?
I'm sure Xi Xinping is personally reviewing your messaging logs to flag to the politburo.
Do people not think "western liberal democracies" engage in political censorship? The government cannot (on paper) legally persecute you for your speech. They can still enter into agreements with Facebook, Microsoft, etc. to share data with our lovely three-letter agencies. Say something particularly spicy on the internet and you'll get a visit from some nice gentlemen who will disabuse you of the notion that all of your speech is free from any consequence in all instances. Say something particularly dangerous, and two shots in the dark will solve that issue as quickly as it did for Huey Newton.
I am less concerned with the CPC holding my data than I am with the US holding my data, given that I don't live in China or communicate in Mandarin generally and given that the US has more prisoners both overall and per capita. Interesting how far all those freedoms get you when there's a profit motive to stick you in a concrete room.
