One thing I am thinking is that things whith such streng network effects like telephone networks, railway networks, messenger applications or the basic protocols of social media should be required to use specified, open standards and protocols, just like IMAP, HTTP or the Matrix protocol. (Actually the Gemini protocol is a good example how it can be done for microblogs).

Something like the fediverSe?

The GDPR requires data portability. That you can export your data in a reasonable machine-readable format.
Expanding that to protocols is an interesting extension of that thought and policy.
Isn't there already a requirement of mobile messengers where Apple had to open their messaging to Google but do it in a lackluster way? I don't remember the specifics.

Did you miss the part where the EU was already talking about that...
