The EU will reveal Wednesday which of the world’s tech behemoths face stronger curbs from next year under a law that will shake up how major players like Apple and Meta do business online.
Brussels is working through a dense legislative agenda to build tougher regulation of big tech, arguing it needs to protect European users online and to encourage competition in an industry dominated by US giants.
The latest announcement is a milestone in the application of the Digital Markets Act (DMA), which will force the largest firms to change their ways under a checklist of dos and don’ts and, regulators hope, create a fairer market.—AFP
