   In the many discussions about #threads promise to add #activitypub support, regulations such as the #DMA and the #DSA, as well as the Canadian Online News Act have come up.

   In this piece I dive deep into the specific articles of the Acts to see if they might impact Meta's decision making.

     One of the requirements of the DMA is that "the gatekeeper shall provide end users [...] with effective portability of data [...] and including by the provision of continuous and real-time access to such data." (article 6(9)).

     Personally, I think that the requirements that the access to data portability needs to be continuous and real-time is a potential explanation of why Threads promises to add ActivityPub.

     Keep in mind I'm not a lawyer however, and feedback is much appreciated!
