As of today, Apple, Alphabet, Meta, Amazon, Microsoft and ByteDance, the six gatekeepers designated by the Commission in September 2023, have to fully comply with all obligations in the Digital Markets Act (DMA).

The DMA aims to make digital markets in the EU more contestable and fairer. It establishes new rules for 10 defined core platform services, such as search engines, online marketplaces, app stores, online advertising and messaging, and gives new rights to European businesses and end-users.

      Thank you for being honest and not flaming, I can certainly appreciate that perspective. I must be jaded from seeing people equate the EU and NATO so often.

        I am very chill. Admittedly, I haven’t seen the behaviour you describe, but I am aware of the anti-EU views some have. I am extremely pro EU and wish for it to eventually expand into a pan AfroEuroAsian union, but even with just EU expansion, or even without expansion, they desperately need to address the current voting system within the EU as an organization, AND they desperately need to give vote to Europeans. I appreciate many things they do, but I frequently feel like they’d benefit from having europeans voting on certain issues.

          See, I can get behind this 100%! Real, actual egalitarian society, and not constant isolationist/factionalist/nationalistic bickering.
