Sounds like Meta wants to force you to give them your phone number.

    They absolutely will. The EU’s Digital Markets Act requires interoperability between social messaging services. ActivityPub is an easy way to comply because they are “technically” interoperable but can still choose to only federate with instances that abide by their rules.

      I don’t know if that loophole may work. But if it does, it may work only for a time until a consumer association escalates that to the European court of justice.

        Did you know that Reddit’s newest chat function technically uses Matrix? Boom, the capacity for interoperability should the EU come down on them. That’s just one example of the background ways companies are preparing for this.

        To learn more, the EU has put together a helpful site at this link.

      Did thye define how to achive interoperability? They can make a ActivityPub clone to call it interoperable but no one else use it.
