You are moving goalposts. This legislation is not the end all be all, and only applies to those with ~7 billion capitalisation (so, Alphabet, Meta, Apple, Microsoft, and little more).
If you want to solve all those problems, you can use and push for Matrix for example.
- 8fingerlouie 5y agoAm I though ? It applying only to ~7 billion capitalization only increases the chance that somebody uses their network, and as is already evident today, that is where the majority of conversations happen. It also increases the risk that my messages will be routed to somebody I don’t want poking through my messages, even if it’s metadata only, like Meta and Google. It also increases the risk that I have registered the same ID with multiple providers. I am not interested in solving the problem, and especially not interested in using Matrix. My only interest in this is I want to have functional instant messaging between people I know. Matrix does not solve that (for me). My point was/is, that either the legislation solves nothing (open APIs, native “own network only” clients), or it creates a lot of problems (unified API, shared standard, cross platform messaging for all). Also, imagine the spam you’ll receive if every email you’ve ever registered with some ~7 billion provider suddenly routes messages.
