     While this new law is a relevant step to make digital markets in the EU more functional also for consumers, #DeviceNeutrality should be extended to any device manufacturer, vendor, or platform.

     We acknowledge the new law but also promote #DeviceNeutrality in a much broader context. We strongly believe that software freedom should be the default standard and end-users should not be imprisoned into lock-ins.

     It is critical to monitor #DMA enforcement but also its future developments. More public awareness towards #DeviceNeutrality is necessary. For this reason, today we are launching the website https://deviceneutrality.org, so you can help us spread the word for end-user re-empowerment towards devices!
