iMessages is like a footnote here. I was surprised it was even considered.
- Now that you’ve let your guard down, Apple is free to do whatever they want. It’s exactly exactly what Apple wanted.
  
  they wanted to be irrelevant in the European market for chat applications?
  
  no, merely considered irrelevant— for legal purposes. why? read the headline.
  
  Im not sure you understands how this work. but anyway... they can do whatever with their service. I (or any person I know) dont plan to use it 🤷
  
  They must've been playing the long game then, iMessage has been irrelevant in Europe since before this law existed. Apple truly thinks of eveything
