    Apple allows as much sideloading as google wants to next near.

    Yes, you can install from .iPa files, but you still need to pay 100€ a year to be able to sign the IPA files, otherwise you cant run them. as much as with googles new policy you now need to pay 25€ + your full name to get a signature, to sign the Apks with

    The EU is no longer an ally in such matters but a bad actor.

    Gonna have to elaborate on this because the European union has both good and bad people pulling strings.

    If this is about chatcontrol. Scary as it is that the idea keeps coming back it has also always gotten shot down.

    them bringing it up again and again is a very significant problem. Imagine you're spending time with a girl and asking her to have sex with you. She says "no", and you simply keep asking her daily until she says "yes" once, probably because she's just not paying attention to your actual question on that day. Such a behavior would be recognized by most people as being improper, immoral and not in the spirit of "consent".

    Now, the same is happening on the EU. They keep asking the same question after they already got an explicit answer, and such a behavior should be illegal by itself. No means No.
