This is not a "Meta problem": all services that rely on US-EU data transfers are at risk. EU privacy regulators are fixated on constraining US-EU data transfers, when more serious privacy risks come from domestic surveillance and from unfriendly powers.? https://t.co/edBHZ53abF

The EU DMA is in force: it's now key to ensure that it will be interpreted to protect privacy and security of end users. However, parts of the DMA inherently pose dangers to user privacy and security, so this will not be an easy task—but it must be done, as EU law requires it. ?
