Recently, the European Union has decided, after its initial attempt, not to include iMessage, Apple’s messaging service, in the strict regulations of the Digital Markets Act (DMA).

The DMA is a legislation that seeks to regulate tech giants, which it calls “digital gatekeepers,” forcing them to open their platforms to third parties and ensure the interoperability of their services. One aspect of this DMA is to require services like iMessage to implement interoperability with other messaging platforms, such as WhatsApp or Messenger, both owned by Facebook.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
