If Apple won't abide by EU market rules, they should be banned. It is that simple.

Agreed, big tech needs to be put in its place, as in they are there to abide by rules or face consequences, thing is they have got away with so much for so long they appear to think they can act with impunity.
So maybe along side these anti competition laws, we need to improve access to legal aid, improve (if needed) laws on Libel, slander and deframation, harassment etc, so that those who become victims, can sue for damages, not just the perpertrator but the big tech companies openly facilitating this.
However as fedi gains ground, we need to be careful we don't get caught in the crossfire, and any rules are still robust but do take into account how decentralisation works.
I feel that we don't need new laws, we just need to ensure existing laws cover everything with new and future tech (e.g AI).
This has started to happen, but where there are barriers then these need to be removed, while of course at the same time ensuring the safeguards are in place to avoid malicious or counter litigation.
@zleap on defamation, in all forms, the main problem is that the easier you make it, or the more powerful the remedies, the more powerful folk will use it to suppress criticism - either directly or indirectly e.g. astro-turfing or encouraging litigation by others.
As for going after service providers, that certainly needs considered. IMHO, "safe harbour" provisions should be immediate forfeit if it is shown that your policing is inadequate (see current Twitter as a prime example).
@zleap Absolutely, it's all big tech. Anti competitive tendencies have been indulged for far too long.
(Everyone, when learning about EU competition law, has a how-the-hell-is-Apple-compliant-with-that moment.)
Big tech now expect to argue against legislation or rulings and, if they lose, just avoid the repercussions or draw out the implementation until the effect is lost.
