Sweet, UE can now legitimately take 4% of Apple’s global income for uniquely identifying all users on Earth, having undeletable cookies and not having the cookie banter and thus, breaking GDPR.

Having worked in this sector for a very long time I just don’t think GDPR is an effective regulatory tool. Primarily because Ireland is a regulatory/tax haven for American companies and they have to enforce GDPR…and they refuse to.

Whereas DMA was written to totally avoid that problem; so I think a DMA action is WAY more likely as the Irish can’t block it.

EU* and it’s up to 10% of global revenue.

GDPR is 4% and technically EEA rather than EU. DMA is 10%.
