Because that way you’re always chasing the problem instead of anticipating it. We know how Apple/iMessage behave, there is no point in waiting for them to become a problem.
Stop saying it’s going to be a problem, there’s zero evidence that it will be. iMessage is dead in the water.
Ok, I understant that. I am not saying that iMessage will be a problem, I am saying that if it will be ever become a problem, then you are will be in a rush to fix it when you could have simply prevented it.
Additionally, this law is restricting large chat apps that can dictate the market. iMessage can’t do that. It makes no sense to cover them here.
The law should apply to all chat apps in my opinion.
Yep. They need to have broad competition rules. Not one per instance of competition issues. It’s same damn problem again and again; anticompetitive practices. Somehow the anticompetitive practices moving to the digital world means law makes can’t see them.
True but shortsighted.
Whatsapp is europe’s iMessage
How so? iMessage isn’t getting more popular

Ok, agreed with how apple act, but iMessage won’t become a problem here, because nobody uses it.
And if they do, which they won’t, then apple can be added.
Fine, but why we should always wait for something to become (evenatually) a problem ?

Not sure where you are in Europe but here lots of people use iMessage. If you have an iPhone and want to text another iPhone, it’s usually iMessage.
If they don’t have an iPhone then people fall back to WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger or hell even Discord…
But you wouldn’t text another iPhone. You’d WhatsApp the person.
Not enough people use iMessage for it to be covered by this law. It’s not large enough of a messenger.
