Open Source, Interoperability and the Digital Markets Act

Talkat FOSDEM 2021 · on Sunday, 2021-02-07· at 14:00· D.legal· [policy-and-regulation, web-platform]

Explains the EU’s Digital Services Act, Digital Markets Act and Data Governance Act and their background, then concentrates on the DMA’s interoperability rules. Describes how messaging and social media could be turned from “walled gardens” into federated, email‑style services by forcing dominant platforms to interoperate, and argues the current DMA text (Articles 6.1(f) and 6.1(h)) only partially covers ancillary services and business users rather than core messaging/social platforms and true realtime interoperability. Draws on work by an open‑source/digital‑rights coalition and a technical policy paper submitted to the Commission.
