Making messaging interoperability with third parties safe for users in Europe”
Meta wrote in their statement
“On March 7th, a new EU law, the Digital Markets Act (DMA), comes into force. One of its requirements is that designated messaging services must let third-party messaging services become interoperable, provided the third-party meets a series of eligibility, including technical and security requirements”.
As usual in the beginning, the changes affect and irritate the consumer that’s why the Government worldwide is watching the reaction of consumers probably these changes are only for now. But we listen the act has passed and Meta suggests it is ready to act on the first retirement.
The first requirements of Meta is:
“In year one, the requirement is for 1:1 text messaging between individual users and the sharing of images, voice messages, videos, and other attached files between individual end users. In the future, requirements expand to group functionality and calling.”
Do you understand the meaning of this signal I message on Telegram Facebook and other apps that easily pop up in WhatsApp?
Not that’s why metacentric is an OTP-in service so users need to say they want to receive or send between services
Users are feeling uncomfortable that’s why before that happens those third parties must ask before joining
Meta’s statement, “While Meta must be ready to enable interoperability with other services within three months of receiving a request, it may take longer before the functionality is ready for public use. We wanted to take this opportunity to set out the technical infrastructure and thinking that sits behind our interop solution.”
The statement of Meta explains that it will ask a third party before entering and joining. Only developers are allowed to use another protocol. They can demonstrate it offers the same security guarantees as Signal.
” It calls Signal the “current gold standard”.
After the statement of matter, the analysis of the review of the consumer was positive. On 11 March 2024 the news that Android authority Praise the reality of third parties even the OTP in you able to choose which app you want to accept. This is too good for security and privacy purposes in a true sense. Especially, concerned and concentrated on our consumers because platforms are from spammers and scammers.
Meta says,
“Our approach to compliance with the DMA is centered around preserving privacy and security for users as far as possible. The DMA quite rightly makes it a legal requirement that we should not weaken security provided to Meta’s users.”
Meta also talks about E2EE, the e-protocol still rolling out by default for personal communication. On WhatsApp, these defaults have been the case since 2016. The feature of WhatsApp is coming soon.
