На днях Еврокомиссия предъявила компании Apple обвинения в нарушении антимонопольного законодательства. Если дело выгорит, то яблокам грозит по-настоящему серьёзный штраф — до 20% от всего оборота.
Нарушение как раз состоит в том, что Apple под флагом безопасности, как она это любит, запрещает сторонним приложениям использовать NFC-модуль для оплаты. Я уже об этом писал: на андроидах после блокировок можно платить телефоном через MirPay и аналоги, а вот айфоны вообще остались без инструмента оплаты в России.
Это, конечно, совпадение, что такие разборки идут нам — русским, оставшимся в стране — на руку. Начало сбора материалов для этого дела было задолго до текущих событий. Впрочем, окончательно текст нужного закона согласован в ЕС только 24 марта — и я уверен, что они одним глазком посматривали на происходящее в России. Так, на всякий случай.
Там в законе много интересного:
1. Компании обязаны давать пользователям возможность менять браузер по умолчанию и поисковый движок. Интересно, заставит ли это Apple разрешить использовать в сторонних браузерах какой-то иной движок, кроме Safari? Ведь из-за этого сам смысл альтернативных программ для просмотра web-страниц теряется почти полностью.
2. Платформам запрещается под угрозой исключения из магазина навязывать свои средства обработки платежей в приложениях. Судя по всему, здесь сыграл роль иск от Epic Games.
3. От встроенных средств обмена сообщениями требуют interoperability. Непонятно, означает ли это возможность работы между протоколами (например, отправлять из iMessage сообщения в WhatsApp), или всё-таки что-то не столь значительное.
4. Ну и да, разработчики смартфонов обязаны предоставить fair access to the supplementary functionalities, к которым относят и NFC. В теории это может означать ещё и, например, право для несистемных приложений выполнять на iOS фоновые процессы (сейчас это возможно только в качестве реакции на изменение координат).
Мне нравится этот процесс и с чисто практической точки зрения и с идеологической. Я уже писал о том, что монополии — один из наиболее значительных недостатков капитализма. В теории вроде бы всё честно: компания делает продукт и имеет право предоставлять его людям на удобных ей условиях, потому что это их продукт. Но в данном случае Европа пользуется правом сильного, потому что может. Иронично: крупные компании по праву сильного и благодаря наличию возможности вставляют палки в колёса обычным потребителям, которые из-за этого не полностью могут пользоваться собственными же смартфонами. А антимонопольные комиссии по праву сильного и благодаря наличию возможности вставляют палки в колёса компаниям, которые из-за этого не полностью могут определять условия продаже собственной же продукции.
