Apple’s iMessage may get out of being one of the ‘gatekeepers’ in Europe

Apple is reportedly disputing with the EU's classification of iMessage as a "gatekeeper" under the Digital Markets Act. The EU will release a list of gatekeepers, but Apple argues that iMessage does not meet the popularity criteria. The company is willing to comply with some DMA rules, such as opening iOS to third-party app stores, but it does not want to open iMessage to third-party messaging platforms or other operating systems. Microsoft is also arguing that Bing should not be subjected to the same rules as Google Search.
