Apple, Google and Meta Platforms will be investigated for potential breaches of the Digital Markets Act.
Meta Platforms will be investigated for potential breaches of the Digital Markets Act, EU antitrust regulators said on Monday, potentially leading to hefty fines for the companies.
The European Commission said it suspects that the measures put in place by these gatekeepers fall short of effective compliance under the act. Asked if the commission was rushing the process, EU industry chief Thierry Breton said the investigations should not be a surprise. “The law is the law. We can’t just sit around and wait,” he told a press conference.
Google, which said it has made significant changes to its services, said it would defend its approach in the coming months. Apple said it was confident its plan complied with the DMA.
