#WhatsApp - In arrivo le guest chat, permetteranno di messaggiare con chi non è in possesso di un account.

La funzionalità non va confusa con quella pensata per mettere WA in comunicazione con le applicazioni di terze parti, attraverso l’obbligo di interoperabilità imposto in Europa dall’introduzione del #DigitalMarketsAct. Nel caso delle guest chat, lo scambio avviene all’interno dell’ecosistema di #Meta, anche se un capo della conversazione non possiede un account.

The EU-US trade deal doesn't touch EU tech laws, Brussels vows (again).

The European Commission said today that the bloc's landmark tech laws, the Digital Services Act (DSA) and Digital Markets Act (DMA), remain untouched.

The Commission reiterated that the bloc's flagship digital laws will not even be mentioned in an upcoming joint statement on the EU-US trade deal.

I only now read Georg Riekeles' excellent 2022 account of #BigTech's outrageous global #lobbying influence. While I don't agree with everything (e.g. his take on #liability and the #copyright debate), after 15 years in #EU #Brussels I'd say his long-read is frighteningly accurate.

Includes special mentions of @corporateeurope and other crucial civil society groups fighting back.

A must-read: https://medium.com/@georg.riekeles/teknopolis-7cbe48a5fcf2
