No gate keeping (by bundling, pre-installing or pushing Microsoft services) for a level playing field.Nextcloud says this coalition has two demands for the European Union: The company's push for the European Commission to intercede has attracted support from numerous European organizations and companies alike, with the list of backers including The Free Software Foundation Europe, Onlyoffice, The European Digital SME Alliance, and more.
Together with the other members of the coalition, we are asking the antitrust authorities in Europe to enforce a level playing field, giving customers a free choice and to give competition a fair chance. This kind of behavior is bad for the consumer, for the market and, of course, for local businesses in the EU. Copy an innovators' product, bundle it with your own dominant product and kill their business, then stop innovating.
Nextcloud CEO Frank Karlitschek said in a statement: This is quite similar to what Microsoft did when it killed competition in the browser market, stopping nearly all browser innovation for over a decade.
