    Again, no sideloading needed. You’re misunderstanding the executive.

    They enforce this by freezing bank accounts and issuing fines to corporations, not by internet censorship.

    So any company that doesn’t have money flowing through the EU is unaffected. And any company that does have money flowing through the EU has a choice to either pull out of the EU or to fuck over their users.

      I’m sure, that they would ask apple and google to remove all messaging apps from organisations with no EU money flow?

      Or do you not think so too?

        I don’t see how this would be a problem either except on Apple. Blocking the sites offering the apk/deb/exe/etc - good luck, doubt their censorship skills are that good given that they’re unlikely to want a ton of collateral damage like more authoritarian places.
