Incredibly ironic to claim US tech has been enshittifying the web while the EU houses enshittification kings Booking.com, Spotify and SAP.

Make no mistake, the Digital Markets Act was a shakedown of US tech. How do I know? Known EU monopolist and enshittifier Booking.com was initially given a gaping and blatant carve-out from the law. Additionally, the DMA has never been used against any European tech, even the most egregious operators.

EU is also the hub for global illegal gambling operators, issuing cereal box licenses to shady operators via Curaçao, which they merely pretend to care about. So moral and righteous!

The handwringing would be valid if the DMA was used against EU tech. It isn't, never will be, and was written to explicitly exclude them.
