Would this pass in EU? Seems anti competition. Do we need another movement like stop chat control to mobilize people?

    Probably not, but my expectations is the EU will slam them with a record fine of 0.03% of their monthly revenue after 5 years of investigations and obligation to provide an alternative solution, that they will work around so it still does not fix anything.

    By the time the damages would be done.

    Has anyone seen the benefits of EU's mandatory opening of chat systems to third parties yet??

    Yeah, this should definitely not be allowed. Google should not be allowed to dictate which operating systems people are allowed to use. And no doubt that this is harmful to many European companies and prevents competition in the space of mobile operating systems.

    That said, it remains to be seen if anything will get done about it.
