  Because Telegram was not deemed a gatekeeper to the instant messenger market by the EU, so the DMA doesn’t apply. You have have millions of users in the EU and almost a billion in revenue, I think, to be deemed a gatekeeper. The Digital Service Act does apply to telegram though, I think. That one doesn’t force interoperability though
