How about requiring Apple to provide an option for the device "owner" to disable Apple's "protections"? If I want to choose freedom over "security", I should have the option to do so. But the EU seems more interested in app signatures and app distribution through centralized channels controlled by the very same monopolists (as a similar approach can be observed on Android). But everything to protect the children, right?
You can, but it's a careful sequence of steps.
Yeah, I understand (as an ex-GOS and current pmOS user). It just feels hypocritical to crutch on monopolies for "child protection", while in the same breath criticizing monopolistic practices... The EU should pick their poison
