Such a stupid law. People can already use open services like matrix but they don’t because they don’t give a fuck. Now we force services to open up… Why? People have a choice already. As much as i hate facebook this is kinda nuts
Network effects. The law lets me not install Facebook Messenger just to chat with my mom and Whatsapp just to chat with my some random corporate account, and instead use whatever messenger I want to chat with both of them. I wouldn’t have a choice otherwise.
It’s a great law, IMHO. It keeps monopolistic companies from gatekeeping services essential to modern life.
This choice is just in theory. Like Cory Doctorow said, you and your close friend circle cannot agree where to eat launch today, how the heck are you going to agree on which chat app to switch to?
I got my choice and deleted Facebook, no looking back, but guess what? I missed A LOT of information from my collage including many meetings.
With this law, people would no longer need to bother any of their friends to install anything, they could start switching one by one to what they like.
