Comment on Whatsapp has begun working on support for third party chats (Telegram/Signal)

What’s the problem with a protocol for chat?

Nothing at all! I just don't trust that providers like Meta won't try to undermine privacy.

They certainly do. They undermine HTTP too. And would have done much more harm if the Web was not founded with a different governance model.
EU actions like that in the title post stress this original, less centralized, model. It was naive to assume that free internet will remain free if left alone.
Paradoxically, preserving freedom relies on constraints and regulations.
