Whether true or not IDK, but it would not surprise me. At all! Big tech LOVES expensive and difficult regulations. That's b/c they have deep pockets. Small competitors don't. Big Tech can spin up huge compliance teams. And legions of engineers. That cements their monopoly. It squeezes out alternatives. It can squeeze out OSS done by volunteers! Who ofc cannot afford big dollar lawyers and compliance teams.
Meta makes more money eeach year than the GDP of Morocco! And it's only 1/3 lap behind like New Zealand or Hungary. Smaller competitors do not have bloody sovereign nation levels of revenue.
