Meta will soon remove a feature that lets you chat with Facebook friends on Instagram and vice versa. Starting mid-December, the company will disconnect the cross-platform integration, which it added in 2020.
Meta didn’t say why, but the EU’s Digital Markets Act could be the culprit.
They could comply with the DMA by opening up Facebook Messenger to everyone (for example by reintroducing XMPP), so no this is not because of the DMA (besides the “look at what you made me do” abuser’s mantra), it’s because Facebook will stop at nothing to trap users in their platforms.
