... the Commission has granted Meta an extension of 6 months to comply with the interoperability obligation (Article 7 DMA)
Because of a “reasoned request” [from META]. ... Commission said it’s received and accepted [request] from Meta.
granted because it was:
“necessary to ensure effective interoperability and to maintain the necessary level of security, including end-to-end encryption”.
and after that, there will be another request and so on forever, they have alot of dough to burn.

I think there are good solutions we can implement to mitigate a lot of the surveillance. And I don't think the solution is to just lay down and die. If everyone thought like privacy doomers, none of this [privacy related issues] would even be a discussion.
They [pessimists] really just making the world worse place by giving up. And that's what a lot of pessimism really is, when you dig down deep, just a coping mechanism for covering up the fact that you're too lazy to take action. All you have to do is take action, instead of doing nothing.
The world needs more people who just care, don't be a doomer.
You can be a random person walking in a busy metro area and happen to get in range of someone who is scanning for a particular device to use a side-channel attack on. You don’t have to be a POI.
I guess if you're broadcasting all the beacons your phone can be pawned even if you miss the last month OS update on your latest, greatest, shiny toy. This is just inevitable.
if this is used, or there is some whitelist that gives permission for background microphone use in voice interaction services, apps with tracking capabilities probably use some set of predefined keywords (hardcoded inside the app itself) and those can be triggered while being on standby/in background, when there is a match some pinging goes to outside servers...
