Orca 🌻 | 🎀 | 🪁 | 🏴🏳️⚧️@arstechnica Hmmmm? I thought Durov constantly boasted (and probably inflated) about user numbers in order to attract investments? 🤔
Dan Herbert@Orca I don't know if this is what's happening here, but other companies have argued that their massive user base is located entirely outside the EU and that their user base within the EU is too low to qualify for the Digital Markets Act 🤷♂️
@danherbert Oh yes you got a point, that could be it 😮
