🇪🇺 Happy DMA day, everybody! 🇪🇺 March 7th 2024 is the deadline for large messaging providers (so called ‘gatekeepers’) to comply with the EU’s Digital Markets Act regulation, which requires them to offer interoperability to third party messaging services. This lets users use their preferred messaging service, rather than being obligated

    So, being an EU citizen, how can I send messages to the WhatsApp users? Or how can I send messages to discord?

    Edit: Discord sadly doesn’t fall under the gatekeeper specification :(

      Discord would need to be willing to accept interoperability and make an agreement with WhatsApp. There is a chance, but personally I doubt they will do it.
