 @kontrafiktion At any large company there is a legal team and a compliance team to ensure that products are going to be ok with regulators. Apple has a whole website just to talk about how great they are at compliance. https://www.apple.com/compliance/ There is zero chance they are not completely and institutionally aware of what is expected of them by the EU and the DMA. It is settled law and has been for a year and a half. 2 comments
@kontrafiktion Nope, at these companies, compliance is baked into the product process, because it HAS TO BE. And if it isn't, then it's arguably negligent on Apple's part to know a regulation existed and not accounting for it in development. Compare this to GDPR, which also had heavy-handed regulations that can be reasonably complained about. Apple has no problem integrating those regulatory rules into their products from day one. Why? Because they know they will need to. |

@stevestreza in my experience a product can be ‘finished' and it may still take many months until all ‘compliance’ is done. The back and forth between ‘product’ and ‘legal/compliance’ is sometimes mind boggling and seems to be written by Kafka …
If I can release my product already in countries where the compliance requirements are simpler, I would choose to release them as early as possible.
