On The Corbett Report’s #Solutions Watch, I told James Corbett about how Apple and Meta were fined €700M for blocking interoperability on their messaging apps. They’re turning “decentralization” into a pay-to-play scheme—forcing you to see ads or pay to remove them, while locking out third-party access.
All this while ignoring that their tech is built on XMPP, a 25+ year-old open messaging protocol. Wild, right?
