The European Union’s Digital Markets Act (DMA), which aims to improve competition in tech and benefit the consumer, became law last May. The EU deemed the first gatekeepers under the new legislation to be companies and services so big in the region that they had to make significant changes to improve competition while also better serving the interests of consumers.
Apple and Meta are two of the designated gatekeepers under the DMA, each operating services that are, in turn, defined as gatekeepers. Once the DMA became law, the companies had to make changes to these services, but the EU hasn’t been necessarily happy with the progress.
Apple and Meta are now facing fines, which could be announced in the coming weeks. However, the EU will reportedly award modest fines to both tech giants for alleged DMA violations.
