    There’s Android. Or a dumbphone. They might be more to Meta’s liking. Well, are. Except the dumbphone.

      Apple is AFAIK a designated large platform operator under the DMA and hence are legally required to open their platform to 3rd parties. That’s the main point of the DMA regulation.

        Sounds like the perfect opportunity for Meta to bumrush all of Apple’s IP and use it to all the nefarious ends. I’m not sure that’s the best idea.

          I see no big difference to Apple doing the same, and the DMA opens the possibility for Apple users to switch to more privacy respecting apps.

          And contrary to the Apple device built in surveillance apps, no one is forced to install shitty Meta apps on their device.
