Official statement regarding the EU's first DMA antitrust fines.

A text-based image titled "Official statement regarding the EU’s first DMA antitrust fines" from Jon von Tetzchner, CEO and Co-founder of Vivaldi Technologies. It welcomes EU action but says the fines for Apple and Meta are small compared to their profits. The focus is on criticizing Meta’s surveillance-based ad model, especially in political marketing, and Apple’s continued restrictions on browser choice and alternative app/payment options. It calls out the ineffective iOS choice screen and exclusion of browsers like Vivaldi in many European countries. Ends by rejecting Meta’s framing of the issue as US vs. Europe—stating it’s Big Tech vs. the world, with a call to protect users from exploitative profiling.
