The EU just designated Whatsapp as a gatekeeper under the Digital Markets Act: https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/ip_23_... following the "full list of do's and don'ts" link on that page:

> Gatekeeper platforms will have to:

> - allow third parties to inter-operate with the gatekeeper’s own services in certain specific situations

> - allow their business users to access the data that they generate in their use of the gatekeeper’s platform
