Jan Penfrat<p>OK I'm back after the lunch break, and the <a href="https://eupolicy.social/tags/Google" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Google</span></a> / <a href="https://eupolicy.social/tags/Alphabet" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Alphabet</span></a> compliance workshop is heating up nicely: </p><p>They're talking Google Shopping and <a href="https://eupolicy.social/tags/selfpreferencing" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>selfpreferencing</span></a> and competitors are accusing Google openly to be like a "dictator" and "blatantly non-compliant" with the <a href="https://eupolicy.social/tags/DMA" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>DMA</span></a>. 👊</p>

Simonetta Vezzoso<p>So, do you need yellow shoes - again? <a href="https://eupolicy.social/tags/selfpreferencing" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>selfpreferencing</span></a></p>
Jan Penfrat<p>To finish up this <a href="https://eupolicy.social/tags/DMA" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>DMA</span></a> panel on <a href="https://eupolicy.social/tags/selfpreferencing" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>selfpreferencing</span></a>: </p><p>While it was an interesting debate about how to improve the situation of <a href="https://eupolicy.social/tags/gatekeeper" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>gatekeeper</span></a>'s competitors, it's striking that no one wanted to discuss why we have (and whether we need) digital gatekeepers in the first place.</p>
Jan Penfrat<p>Oh so now <a href="https://eupolicy.social/tags/Google" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Google</span></a> lobbyist says our <a href="https://eupolicy.social/tags/selfpreferencing" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>selfpreferencing</span></a> of hotel search isn't a problem because in the end hotels benefit?</p>
Jan Penfrat<p>Same <a href="https://eupolicy.social/tags/DMA" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>DMA</span></a> workshop: the <a href="https://eupolicy.social/tags/bigtech" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>bigtech</span></a> lobbyist asks how the ban on <a href="https://eupolicy.social/tags/selfpreferencing" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>selfpreferencing</span></a> can be made compatible with all the supposed benefits of gatekeeper integrating all kinds of services. </p><p>But for lack of positive example from big tech he uses as example the financial sector which is entirely out of scope of the law in discussion. :catto:</p>
Jan Penfrat<p>I'm at the (highly industry-dominated) <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://social.network.europa.eu/@EU_Commission" class="u-url mention">@<span>EU_Commission</span></a></span> workshop on <a href="https://eupolicy.social/tags/selfpreferencing" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>selfpreferencing</span></a> under the <a href="https://eupolicy.social/tags/DMA" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>DMA</span></a>. </p><p>It's like playing a game: every speaker tries to describe the illegal conduct of <a href="https://eupolicy.social/tags/Amazon" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Amazon</span></a>, <a href="https://eupolicy.social/tags/Apple" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Apple</span></a>, and <a href="https://eupolicy.social/tags/Google" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Google</span></a> without naming the companies' names :)</p>
