The European Commission initiated probes against Apple, Google, and Meta for potential breaches of the Digital Markets Act (DMA). DMA aims to foster fair competition by regulating big tech firms. Investigations will assess whether these companies comply with DMA provisions, including facilitating user choice among app stores and preventing self-preferencing in search results. Meta’s “pay or consent” model and Amazon’s marketplace ranking practices are also under scrutiny. EU regulators may impose fines of up to 10% of global turnover for violations. This move underscores EU’s commitment to ensuring a level playing field in the digital space.
