What risk?

That this is even a question, shows the problem with leaving it all to users.

We'll have to wait and see how Google responds to these demands. Android has been traditionally more open, but has recently been closed down more; not least because of EU demands for more security. It will be interesting.

    Your comprehension skills are dogshit. The EU is moving to break down walled gardens...which is why Apple cant put Siri on the market here. In your comment it is responsible for both locking down and preventing locking down.

    More security does not necessitate closing ranks. What risk being a question is something you clearly misunderstood on every level.

    As I wrote, it makes no sense.

    Your asertion makes no sense because it isnt based in reality.

    You ae failing to grasp that I am saying both canr be true. You are also not making the case that both are, rather laying blame for both without understanding either.

    Why would I make the case? That would surely be a huge waste of time. You're not asking any questions. You don't want to know, right?

    But ok. If you want to share, I will read it. What did you make up in your mind about this?

    Umm, so what. You want restrictions because part of the population is low IQ and tech illiterate? The fuck do I care, buy yourself a flip phone if you can't deal.

    If you are "at risk", you probably shouldn't be near a computer or the internet.

    Sheesh. I don't agree with the EU locking down Android. But I don't see either how it makes sense to punch this huge security hole into Apple's Walled Garden. Their customers expect, and pay for, a lot of hand-holding.

    You have to give your ID to watch porn for your security. You can't install unapproved apps for your security. Using a VPS is illegal for your security. Companies need to keep detailed information on you for your security. Can't have anything encrypted for your security.

    Every shit decision lately has been for our security but mostly just seems to be about killing competition or destroying privacy.

    As if they couldn't just solve it by putting a dev mode, but that would hinder profits which is the real reason for all this. The ones that want apple to hold their hand and lead them around like a child can just not use it.

    I don't get what you're trying to say here. That's not the legal situation in the EU (or even the UK). Are you saying that's where the EU is headed?

    Gating a change of AI assistant behind a dev mode would not be DMA compliant.

    The EU is the reason that people use browsers other than Chrome, they've also the ones that forced Microsoft to allow browsers other than internet explorer in the first place so they're also the reason Chrome exists. All good things in their time.

    There has been no risk from removing walled gardens. If any person is not comfortable for any reason about using any AI other than the included one then they are of course free not to make any changes. This is about choice and ensuring customers have choice. Meanwhile here is Apple acting as if the concept of an API is a revolutionary idea.
