To anyone following the , does anyone understand how the current proposal would affect and ? From what I have seen, it seems to not directly regulate us, but I just heard that it might.

@eighthave In the Commission proposal, Article 16 on app stores will apply to FDroid. Obligations are age-rating of all applicatons and age verification. In the proposal, there are no exemptions for small service providers.

@je5perl Thanks for that. So far, with other laws like EU DSA or UK Online Safety Act, there are size-based regulations. I feel like we have to repeat this whole discussion all over again. The same stuff is all relevant here. So for example, one person sets up app distribution for their family, then they'll have to do age ratings and restrictions? With the F-Droid tooling, it really is that simple.
