Summary
The European Commission has designated six tech giants, including Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, Meta, Microsoft, and ByteDance, as "gatekeepers" under its new Digital Markets Act. This legislation aims to promote competition in digital markets and provide more choices for consumers. The rules could potentially disrupt the business models of these large digital platforms. The EU has also opened market investigations into Microsoft and Apple to determine if their services should be classified as gatekeepers. The Digital Markets Act is a significant new law that aims to address anti-competitive practices by big tech companies.
