SUMMARY
- The EU has identified WhatsApp as a gatekeeper in the messaging industry and has given it a few months to enable interoperability with other apps.
- The EU’s Digital Markets Act aims to promote fair competition and give consumers more options for alternative services.
- WhatsApp has already begun working on interoperability with other apps, potentially allowing smaller players like Signal to compete more fairly.
Fuck that, fuck them they belong in the digital bin. I don’t want WhatsApp to be able to connect to Signal or anything else. Sounds like a gigantic security risk.
“I don’t want these Signal encrypted Matrix protocol messages on my Signal encrypted Matrix protocol messaging app, it’s a gigantic security risk”
This is such a silly take. If you will talk to signal users, you won’t interact with this tech. If you want to talk to whatsapp users, right now yo need to have the app which is much worse!
