Apple CEO Tim Cook said that he believes a proposed European law known as DMA would “not be in the best interest of users,” signaling the iPhone maker’s opposition to European legislation that would force it to allow users to install software outside of Apple’s App Store.

“I think there are parts of it that are not in the best interests of the user,” Cook said Wednesday through videoconference at the VivaTech conference in France.

The European Union DMA law focuses on companies with large numbers of customers -- like Apple, Google and Amazon -- and sets rules requiring them to open up their platforms to competitors.

One of Cook’s issues with the law is that it would force Apple to permit sideloading apps on the iPhone, which is manually installing software from the internet or a file instead of through an app store.

Cook noted that the iPhone’s market share in France is only 23% and said that permitting sideloading on iPhones would damage both the privacy and security of users

Note that it is no progress in opening Apple system at all, instead Android becomes more and more closed system with more and more Google owned tracking.
