FAILED EXPERIMENT: THE DIGITAL MARKETS ACT’S VAST UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES
As the European Union enforces its Digital Markets Act (DMA), it is raising fundamental questions about Europe’s approach to digital markets regulation, how it may actually be undermining Europe’s long-term ability to improve its digital ecosystem, and unintentionally exposing Europeans to new harms, without any commensurate ability to move swiftly to fix things. This report series from Trusted Future’s co-chair Jim Kohlenberger assesses the unintended effects of the DMA and finds that contradictions in the EU’s digital governance framework create potentially catastrophic consequences – and require immediate patching and a reboot.
The App Store Freedom Act Puts Children’s Safety and Privacy at Risk
Recently we learned that the App Store Freedom Act may be considered as part of the House Energy and Commerce Committee’s kids’ digital protection package
How Congress Can Avoid Learning the Wrong Lessons from Europe
Given the broad impacts that technology has on our lives, policymakers are right to be looking for smart ways to further improve the vital technologies we use every day – by supporting efforts to improve our privacy, safety and security – and expand digital opportunities for all Americans.

JIT Happens: A Look at the DMA’s First Interoperability Request
Unfettered access to fundamental just-in-time compiling features, or use of insecure JIT, creates significant vulnerabilities that hackers can easily exploit.
WHEN INTEROPERABILITY MANDATES WEAKEN SECURITY – JIT HAPPENS
Holy Cow! We looked at the very first interoperability request publicly posted as part
of Europe’s Digital Markets Act’s (DMA) new interoperability rules and it’s a digital doozy that would enable serious new security threats. A developer has requested that under the DMA’s new interoperability rules, Apple should provide it with direct access to features of its Just-In-Time Compiler or JIT engine – which is a core capability built into all major browser engines.
Submission to Consultation On Possible Canada-European Digital Trade Agreement
