Gregory's Server@ShadSterling The peculiar thing about all those new EU laws and regulations is that they are intentionally very vague, and what it means exactly is only being worked out over time between regulator and regulated. E.g. the EU sent a "tech ambassador" to reside in San Francisco for this purpose. But some intents are very clear: one of them is interoperability.

 @ShadSterling Not evading. Just delaying. On the grounds that 1) we are working on it, see, with our new app, from the ground app, yes we are changing our ways, and 2) this is all so new, nobody in the industry knows how to do this, we all need to learn before we can do anything for billions of users, and you dear regulator don't know either let's gradually learn together. @J12t with the goal of making as much money as possible until the regulators figure out they’re lying, that’s plausible. Not sure it’ll work as well as they expect, but I’d be surprised if the laws penalize that enough to make real compliance more profitable |
@J12t in that case building things to influence regulation is very plausible, but expecting to evade the interoperability requirement for Facebook and Instagram by creating a separate interoperable service is not convincing
