Doesn’t the EU DMA would eventually force Apple, Whatsapp… to open up ?

iMessage was excluded because nobody uses it here

[–] Nick@mander.xyz 2 points 1 year ago

They did fully not exclude it from legislation yet. Apple simply contested their iMessage's as a gatekeeper under the definition used in the act, and the Commission is in the process of determining whether or not that is true. If iMessage is determined to be a gatekeeper, Apple will only have bought themselves a few more months before they have to comply with the DMA.
