I really love the , but I felt concerned for a while about using metadata, particularly information about individual Meta accounts interacting with individual external accounts, to profile users who are not even on their platforms. It would not be the first time they were making 'shadow profiles', and WhatsApp already started selling metadata of encrypted chats since about a year or two ago. :blobfoxthonking:

Weeks after it was reported that would stop forcing in the and allow for links to be opened with the default browser, nothing seems to have changed.

Just days ago, the @EU_Commission designated Microsoft as a gatekeeper under the to prevent them from imposing unfair conditions.

At Vivaldi, we believe in putting people in charge of their browsing experience. No corporation should force you to use their services against your will.

"Bèta WhatsApp toont scherm voor ontvangen chats vanaf andere apps"

I am not surprised by ’s reaction. This is why I think any attempts by @EU_Commission to reign in / via & will also not work.

will not bow to governmental decrees—so long as they do not target or (which authoritarian governments like 🇸🇦 & 🇨🇳 have figured out).

@irunonprivacy je ne suis pas juriste, mais je viens de voir sur mon feed LinkedIn que et serait une chance pour le 😂 (je m’y connais un peu dans ce domaine). Je crois qu’on ne comprend pas encore trop bien toutes les incidences et effets de bord. L’Europe se cherche, mais elle doit veiller aussi à inspirer la même chose sur les autres continents, pas que ça l’isole. C’est comme pour le volet énergie, voiture électrique, etc.

The 's decision to classify as a under the is the right decision towards more openness and choice of the platform!

I — an developer that is interested in development via — am looking forward to a future where I can easily sideload my small & free apps on iOS devices & distribute them through other stores w/o having to pay 100USD/year for an Apple dev account that I otherwise don't need.

@gbraad Yeah it sucks that / is still the fastest way to contact politicians or state agencies in the 🇺🇸.

I believe the same is true for as well, as I noticed the 🇪🇺 did not target X via the which I assume is out of fear of (they need him for 🇺🇦 via ).

is the type who would retaliate by either shutting down government accounts on X or threatening to cut off Starlink.

Con il Digital Service Act e Digital Market Act ci saranno molti cambiamenti da parte delle big tech ma questo punto, che viene abusato anche dalle software house, chi lo controlla se non ci saranno "Gatekeeper" per ogni contenuto digitale?

No, unfortunately the does *not* force gatekeeper social networks to interoperate even if smaller ones want it.

Despite groups like @edri fighting for this, there was much political & resistance, and now Article 7 DMA on mandatory only applies to messaging services, not social networks.

So, @element and @threemaapp could ask Whatsapp and to interoperate, but the won't be affected.
