    That is not clear yet, since the law does not specify the protocol needed to make that happen. The law forces them to make the messenger interoperable while keeping features like E2E encryption. Basically like ActivitPub with more security / privacy features.

        How would that be a feasible solution?

        If they stay true to their word, they will force them to implement interoperability and not just force them to give some sort of API access.

        So if you install WhatsApp their plan is that Meta must provide a seamless experience in talking to every other person even if that person is using e.g. iMessage

        A new protocol for the given reason is faster implemented, more secure and better scalable then just trying to do something with existing solutions that were never designed with something like this in mind.

          all of this stuff is just API calls anyway, that’s how the internet operates, none of this is done via an analogue signal transfer
