Comment on Apple’s iMessage is not a “core platform” in EU, so it can stay walled off
abhibeckert@lemmy.world 8 months agoThere’s still plenty of EU pressure. This was a close enough thing that the EU spent months investigating it before making a decision.
That sends a pretty clear message to Apple “we’re OK with what you’re doing with messaging right now, but only just barely”.

Because of the “only just barely” part, new legislation might not even be necessary.
If Apple only narrowly avoided falling under the core platform definition, just a change in market share might be enough for that to change under the existing rules.
