The European Commission announced that American tech companies Apple and Google-owner Alphabet are found to be in violation of the European Union’s digital regulations, which target anti-competitive practices.
Alphabet and Apple have been accused of failing to comply with the EU’s Digital Markets Act (DMA). This law targets large “gatekeeper” platforms to ensure they behave in a “fair way” and allow room for competitors. The Commission defines gatekeepers as platforms with a large user base that are economically significant, active in several EU nations, and have a considerable impact on the market.
