Sick of UE 🇪🇺 choosing on my behalf 👎
If I want Siri AI to be interoperable, I will express it through my choice of purchasing - or rejecting - Apple products and services
Apple being a privacy-first company is a result of us - the consumers - expressing that requirement.
@UEFrance Et les autres IA que Copilot dans Word ? Et le logiciel Sony dans mon télé Samsung ? Et le chip TMC dans mon PS5… Vos réglementations sont devenues une blague. Vous ne protégez personne avec ces bêtises, vous ne punissez que les Européens. Laissez-nous choisir, on est grands.
Apple delaying Siri AI in the EU and blaming DMA is exactly why this whole “choice belongs to European citizens” line is complete rubbish.
Europe unilaterally decides what is “fair” with zero independent judicial oversight. No court, no real appeal — just unelected Brussels bureaucrats telling Apple how to build its own product.
If it was genuine free choice, we could simply pick the full Apple ecosystem (with Siri AI) or open-source alternatives. Instead we get a fake “choice” designed by regulators who don’t even use the tech they’re breaking.
The choice isn’t between Cupertino and citizens.
It’s between actual consumer freedom and EU overreach.
Stop selling regulation as empowerment. It’s not.
Infuriating? The DMA isn’t protecting users—it’s a protectionist club designed to muzzle American tech because Europe can’t build its own Apples or Googles. Gatekeepers? All non-EU (mostly US). Zero European firms qualify.
Apple offered a ‘Trusted System Agent’ for secure AI interoperability. EU regulators rejected it outright. Result? EU users get delayed Siri AI, worse experiences, and second-class status—exactly what Apple warned about.
This isn’t ‘fairness.’ It’s bureaucratic overreach to handicap winners, raise compliance costs, and slow innovation. Read Apple’s actual DMA impact reports instead of Tim Sweeney/Fabs spin. Europeans deserve better than regulation through bureaucrats.
La conduite autonome de Tesla est désormais autorisée aux USA, au Canada, en Chine... et depuis ce printemps aux Pays-Bas, en Lituanie, en Estonie, et depuis hier au Danemark. La France, elle, a fait savoir qu'elle attendrait le feu vert de Bruxelles.
Ou quand le village gaulois se barricade contre l'avenir au nom du principe de précaution, pendant que le monde avance... Misère.

Et pourtant, toujours aucune commission d’enquête sur Epstein, alors qu’il passait la moitié de l’année sur le territoire…
"L’Europe dit qu’Apple doit offrir des solutions équivalentes à la concurrence." → Non, les utilisateurs d'Apple ont fait le choix d'un système fermé pour éviter ces risques. Ce que l'Europe voit comme une mesure anti-concurentielle est un choix de consommateur.
Rappelons que Thomas Regnier est un fonctionnaire, donc non élu, qui prétend parler au nom de 450 millions d'européens. La bureaucratie dans toute sa raideur.
‘Our market, our law’? Cute.
Your ‘law’ forces Apple to hand third-party AIs the same deep, on-device access to personal context, photos, messages, and the secure enclave that Siri uses. Apple refuses because that destroys the end-to-end security and privacy their entire product is built on.
That’s not ‘fair competition.’ That’s regulatory blackmail: neuter your security model or EU users get nothing.
Free choice would be letting users decide: Want Apple’s private, on-device AI? Buy an iPhone. Want open slop from any LLM? Buy Android.
Instead you’re removing that choice. Europeans get a gimped or delayed experience while the rest of the world moves forward. Apple isn’t the monopoly here — Android already dominates market share. You’re just punishing the one company that actually protects user data.
Result? Less innovation, less security, and users stuck with whatever Brussels thinks is ‘fair.’
Brilliant work, EU. Consumers lose again.“
