Europe's Digital Markets Act Takes a Hammer to Big Tech
Summary by Ground News
European lawmakers agreed on aggressive new rules that aim to crowbar open the app marketplace to let in smaller competitors. The Digital Markets Act (DMA) will require companies like Apple, Facebook parent Meta, and Google to let their services intertwine with those of rivals. Apple will be made to allow iPhone users to download apps from rival app stores, and WhatsApp will have to let people use its app to communicate with others using rival messengers.
