@dansup The word for it is coopetition. In a coopetiive model, all services speaking the protocol are competing for customers in their intended market, but they all agree on the base protocol and are compatible with one another, even if they offer different widgets on top of the base protocol.

@EU_Commission Could you show solidarity with the people who live in fake democracies in your own borders, and those who you want to take away the right to private correspondence via chatcontrol. It is absolutely distasteful and tone death to use the suffering of real children to scare people into giving away their rights. At least in the states our bill of rights doesn't have exceptions. Your dangerous proposal if passed would hurt my 4th amendment rights here in the states too you know.
