The EU is pushing antitrust against tech monopolies for all it’s worth. For anyone with half an eye on the EU it’s glaringly obvious why Meta is doing this, and all the conspiracy theorists stumbling over each other on the Fediverse just look like clowns.
It’s not about EEE, it’s not about flooding the Fediverse with trolls (?) or about taking over the market share of Mastodon (??). It’s about making a genuine-looking claim that they are not monopolist. Same reason they are working on the Signal protocol for WhatsApp.
It’s not exactly rocket science. It’s just successful regulation.

Like all the EU tech regulations it means well but in the end it is just making everything a shittier experience.
