EU opens probe into Apple, Google and Meta aiming to reign in Big Tech: What's happening

Hindustan Times  

EU antitrust regulators opened their first investigations under the Digital Markets Act into Apple, Alphabet's Google and Meta Platforms claiming potential breaches of landmark EU tech rules. The EU executive said in a statement as per news agency Reuters, “The Commission suspects that the measures put in place by these gatekeepers fall short of effective compliance of their obligations under the DMA.” EU antitrust chief Margrethe Vestager holds a press conference in Brussels, Belgium. The commission said that it “suspects that the measures put in place by these gatekeepers fall short of effective compliance of their obligations under the DMA", adding, “The Commission is concerned that the binary choice imposed by Meta’s ‘pay or consent’ model may not provide a real alternative in case users do not consent, thereby not achieving the objective of preventing the accumulation of personal data by gatekeepers." The European Commission said it was investigating the companies for “non-compliance” with the Digital Markets Act- a broad rulebook that targets Big Tech “gatekeeper” companies providing “core platform services”.
