minus-square@helenslunch@feddit.nllinkfedilink2•3 months agoSeems unlikely. This is Meta’s malicious compliance with MDA or whatever from the EU.
minus-square@thingsiplay@beehaw.orglinkfedilink3•3 months agoAt what exactly do you refer to? Meta does not need to federate with the Fediverse. I am not aware of any law that would force Meta doing this.

minus-square@thingsiplay@beehaw.orglinkfedilink4•3 months agoGood to know! I guess that’s why Apple is forced to communicate with Android.
minus-square@helenslunch@feddit.nllinkfedilink5•3 months agoYes, also why Apple is going to allow sideloading (even though they also are complying maliciously) and also MS now allows you to uninstall Edge. All of this, of course, only applies in the EU.
minus-square@helenslunch@feddit.nllinkfedilink1•3 months agoWe don’t know yet the full answer to that but I’d say being “opt in” without any sort of prompt ( especially when every other fucking Meta feature is “opt out” ), or having unidirectional federation would qualify as malicious.

How is it “malicious”?
