- est31 4y agoThey mandates a bunch of things, more than just payment services. It also includes app stores, at least according to multiple reports, but linking to the specific article that includes app store freedom seems hard to me. https://www.macrumors.com/2022/07/05/eu-approves-landmark-legislation-to-regulate-apple/ https://www.macrumors.com/2022/07/05/eu-approves-landmark-le... https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/HTML/?uri=CELEX:52020PC0842&from=en https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/HTML/?uri=CEL...
- Arnt 4y agoNo. Some very large companies have to offer interop for their messageing platforms, smaller ones don't. So if Threema wants interop with Signal, Signal can say yes, no or they can discuss it. If either Threema or Signal want to interop with Whatsapp, Facebook has to offer that, because Facebook meets one of the two size criteria.
