Regulations __can__ create monopolies. DMA is a regulation, but it does not have the shortcomings you mentioned.

DMA seems explicitly written to only target monopolies, though (and seems like a surrender from the EU, since monopolies should be broken up and not get laws codifying their business models IMHO).

Can you imagine the collective screeching, across the White house, HN and Apple reality distortion field, that'd happen if EU attempted to breakup the American monopolies?

Electing to not do something impossible and framing it as a surrender is strange to me.

		The countries that let Donald Trump's screeching dictate their policies don't fare any better than those who ignore it.
