Developers, this is your chance to fix the DMA.

You don't need to be an expert on the law, but the Commission does want your thoughts on what's most relevant to you, specifically Articles 5-7. Not familiar? Here's a TL;DR:
Article 5
Limits data use across integrated experiences without specific consent
What this means for your app:
Personalization and cross-service features become harder to deliver, adding user friction and complexity when trying to grow your audience
Article 6
Requires app stores to allow installation and use of alternative app stores and applications
What this means for your app:
Fragmented distribution raises costs, increases support challenges, and adds risk without growing your audience
Article 7
Forces interoperability outside industry standards, reducing some core functionality
What this means for your app:
Privacy, security, and unique product features could be compromised... weakening differentiation and user trust.
