For More personalized experience disaster.
Let you for now, probably require it later.
Wait, isn't this exactly the thing they promised not to do after buying WhatsApp?
Time to destroy Meta, let's call the politics.
Ohh ... I forgot.
What did you think the metaverse was going to be?
And what the eu requires, gatekeepers gotta connect
Connect messages, not this, the DMA doesn’t force account centralisation.
Oh I guess I misread. As far as I can see it only talks about a link for crossposting
The EU required that WA not connect its DB with FB for EU users.
WA? Who's WA?
Also yes, completely different law but user data has to be secure for eu users. Some even within the country
We could still be communicating cooperatively in a lightweight, decentralized manner had WhatsApp federated with & Facebook reverted unfederating with XMPP. 😥
I sure as hell don't like that. I wonder what the chances are of me switchibg my immediate family over to Signal, just as a start...
I asked my family if they wanted help setting Signal up as that would be the only way to reach me. Worked like a charm and have used Signal as primary message app for like 6 years.
Same, only way to do it. The’ll never install Signal if you’re still available on Whatsapp.
