While Facebook and Twitter may not have collaborated on a protocol for distributed social networking, other interested parties have, and they've come up with standards like this: https://activitypub.rocks/ Whether Facebook and Twitter end up supporting such a standard may well depend on how expansively the European Court of Justice interprets the right to Data Portability that is being introduced by the GDPR: https://gdpr-info.eu/art-20-gdpr/ Certainly when read in the light of existing competition law (not to mention the bad reputation Facebook in particular has right now, nor any cynical political protectionist goals that an EU court might have), it is possible that large near-monopolistic American social media companies may end up being forced to allow automated pushing of user's posts to friends on 3rd party competing websites. |
