"TL;DR: On iOS in the EU, selecting a third-party browser from the choice screen replaces Safari in the hotseat (dock), ensuring the user’s choice is respected. This change has already led to meaningful gains in market share; Mozilla, for example, saw its daily active users double in France and Germany on iOS, where the hotseat change is implemented. DuckDuckGo’s findings suggest that replacing Safari in the hotseat boosted the iOS choice screen’s effectiveness by a factor of nine. Yet Google refuses to make an equivalent change on Android, relying on an unreasonably narrow and, in our view, incorrect interpretation of the Digital Markets Act. Even when users choose a different browser, Chrome remains prominently placed, undermining their decision and steering them back toward Google’s own product."

"The thing that makes the industrial strategy a step forward into the 2030s rather than a step back into the 1970s – which justifies the word “modern” in the document’s title – is the emphasis on nurturing ecosystems" #interoperability

Looking forward v much to our discussion this morning at the UK's Competition & Markets Authority on #interoperability: lessons (for the #DMCCA) from #telecoms regulation!
Tim Cowen (Preiskell & Co.) and Prof. @chrismarsden.bsky.social are both world authorities on this topic And we have a surprise guest to talk about payments & water regulation lessons!
Here are my background slides https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1SBE2-MOzPn5wvsL7XhYqfmGEbJ7W1FvV6frq5VeXlL8/edit?usp=sharing
Thank you @ec.europa.eu for committing (at the end of today's #compliance workshop) to further explore the geolocalisation obstacles #Meta is imposing on #DMA #interoperability for #NIICS! And good work @Amandine@mastodon.matrix.org for raising the problem so clearly

#Meta is killing #DMA #NIICS / #messaging #interoperability through a hundred petty (and not so petty) restrictions, which are questionable under the law. I hope: 1. @ec.europa.eu will do something about this fundamental obstacle to the functioning of the #DMA...

I don't find #Meta's claims that other companies just don't want #interoperability very convincing
But until @ec.europa.eu designates OTHER gatekeeper #NIICS, it is unsurprising #Meta will push back at every opportunity, since the firm cannot take advantage of any OTHER #gatekeeper offer #DMA

#Meta announces at its #DMA #compliance workshop it is working closely with another company which wants to launch the first interoperable messaging service with #WhatsApp
Less positively, Meta is rejecting #interoperability requests from non-messaging services, and business-focused services

@mamund thank you. I will also give the linked article on agentic systems a read.
Note that #ActivityPub here on the #fediverse has this need to discover and introspect the capabilities of actor endpoints on the network.
This entirely missing. With #ActivityStreams #LinkedData endlessly versatile, a player on the fediverse can freely invent their own flavours on-the-fly, introducing protocol decay and makes #interoperability harder.
Whack-a-mole driven development to moving targets ensues.
I'd say post-facto interop covers the load..
> Post facto #interoperability [is] the absolute market dominance of a particular product in contravention of any applicable standards [..]. The vendor behind that product can then choose to ignore any forthcoming standards and not co-operate in any standardization process at all, using its near-monopoly to insist that its product sets the de facto standard by its very market dominance.
