Unfortunately, most people I know use WhatsApp for personal communications, as a result, I’ve had to start using it too. However, I’m unsure which is more privacy-oriented for desktop use: WhatsApp Web in a browser or the native application.

      Have a look here. And, directly from the europa.eu website:

      When will the Commission designate the first gatekeepers?

      Potential gatekeepers meeting the quantitative thresholds established by the DMA had until 3 July 2023 to notify their core platform services to the Commission. The Commission will have 45 working days from the notification date to make an assessment as to whether the undertaking in question meets the thresholds and designate gatekeepers, at the latest by 6 September 2023. Following their designation, gatekeepers will have six months to comply with the requirements in the DMA, at the latest by 6 March 2024.

        This is the first time I heard about this and I’m so excited.

        I can’t wait to delete my Facebook account!

      This will be amazing if I didn’t have to have WhatsApp and other similar apps installed. Really !!!
