Pressure grows on Apple to open up iMessage::Samsung has joined Google’s campaign to force Apple to make iMessage RCS-compatible—but European regulators are more likely to get that job done.

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

....or even better: end iMsg

I don't think Europeans even use it

[-] viking@infosec.pub 3 points 11 months ago

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

India is WhatsApp territory, EU uses multiple media

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?

[-] Neon@lemmy.world 5 points 11 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.
