This pretty much summarizes the core problem of the whole mobile security field. You can only secure as far, as the next closed ecosystem is away. Which is not very far. Caused by the ongoing push & pull between the key players.
Can you already describe this as a current trend, court rulings against big tech? Like the jury decisions against instagram / meta last week and so on.
No, I read part of the full sentence in italian and as far as I can understand, the tribunal contests not the fact (increasing prices), but the way that it was done which is unlawful. They also contest other things, for example, you have to say the legal words "modifica unilaterale del contratto" when changing the contract, which makes it clear you're getting screwed one way or another by the way. In this case Netflix wrote to the users "updating plan price" which is much more ambiguous and not as clear as the above saying. It is ridiculous to not know about this, because everybody here knows they're the keywords you read when somebody is raising the price of some service. Let alone a poor big tech that couldn't know they had to specify the legal phrasing.
For similar reasons, many more points of the consumer association were rejected, because Netflix in those cases fulfilled the requirements of the consumer protection code in its tos
Learned something new. Thank you! This phrasing indeed sounds like profound legal knowledge in this particular country. Quite surprising to miss on that as such a big company. Looks a bit like US legals were overconfident, or they did not have legal reps in Italy.
And the issue in this article has nothing to do with Meta/Youtube trial in the US, which are about completely different laws under different legal systems.
wtf!? I enter my email address for an invitation, receive a link to an est. 2 pages form for answering a shit load of unrelated question, like org name, org country, last summer vacation, first time I got pimples... Is this a request to become the next pope?
Read your blog post backwards. Paragraph by paragraph and you get the answer to your intrinsic question. And btw it would be a much better read at the same time
