Thank you @EUCommission for committing (at the end of today's #compliance workshop) to further explore the geolocalisation obstacles #Meta is imposing on #DMA #interoperability for #NIICS! And good work @Amandine for raising the problem so clearly 
#Meta announces at its #DMA #compliance workshop it is working closely with another company which wants to launch the first interoperable messaging service with #WhatsApp 
Less positively, Meta is rejecting #interoperability requests from non-messaging services, and business-focused services 
For anyone who wants to relive the #Alphabet #DMAWorkshop the video has been released:
Digital Markets Act (DMA)2025 Alphabet DMA compliance workshopThis workshop provides interested parties with the possibility to ask for clarifications and to give feedback on the compliance solutions published in Alphabet's 2025 compliance report.
Skip #Apple's dreadful #compliance officer, who mainly insulted the #EC and #EU #law, and the people in the room, and otherwise wasted as much time as possible during this rare opportunity for public #DMA scrutiny of his $2.2tn firm https://webcast.ec.europa.eu/2nd-dma-enforcement-workshop-apple-update-on-first-year-of-dma-compliance-2025-06-30
