Tech companies like Mistral and Apple are facing criticism for their actions. Mistral is accused of transitioning from open source to closed source, disappointing supporters. Apple is under fire for allegedly sabotaging web apps, causing global harm and stifling innovation. Organizations are calling for investigations into Apple's practices, citing anti-competitive behavior.
NEW: Alongside @ycombinator, @Tech_Oversight and others, we sent a letter calling on @FCC to investigate Apple for blocking the messaging app Beeper Mini. Typical of Apple, this eliminated interoperability and illegally stifled competition. As seen in @Politico Morning Tech.š https://t.co/9YmBPz54ER
