This is where the EU could really make it a reality.

....or even better: end iMsg

IMessage isn't really used in Europe, so it doesn't get covered by the DMA-DSA-Duo sadly

Sure it does. It's the interoperability of all of them from iMessage to Whatsapp, signal, Google message, etc.

I read the legislation. What's your point with URL?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago

i read the Legislation as well. Only Gatekeepers need to open up. The EU hasn't designated IMessage as a Gatekeeper yet.

The URL is the official EU Announcement to the designation of the Gatekeepers. Check it out. IMessage isn't on it.

I don't think Europeans even use it

Yep, EU is whatsapp territory. Nobody cares about Apple software.

India is WhatsApp territory, EU uses multiple media
