    Both Signal and Threema can now theoretically ask Meta to open access for basic messaging interoperability

    Why is it a one-way thing? Would Meta ever be in a position to force Signal to interoperate?

      Maybe eventually, it has to do with market share and if the service is a “core platform”. Signal doesn’t have enough market share to warrant it yet, even iMessage wasn’t forced to since it’s not that popular in EU. The law was mainly targeted at WhatsApp as that’s THE messenger in the EU.
