  • European Commission Vice-President in charge of Europe fit for the digital age and Commissioner for Competition Margrethe Vestager gives a press conference on EU probes Apple, Google, Meta under new digital law at the EU headquarters in Brussels, on March 25, 2024. The EU hit Apple, Google parent Alphabet and Meta on March 25, 2024 with the first ever probes under a mammoth digital law, which could lead to big fines against the US giants. The European Commission, the EU’s antitrust regulator, announced that it “suspects that the measures put in place by these gatekeepers fall short of effective compliance of their obligations under the DMA”,the bloc’s Digital Markets Act. Since March 7, six of the world’s biggest tech companies – Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, TikTok owner ByteDance, Meta and Microsoft, have had to comply with the EU’s landmark DMA after being named so-called “gatekeepers”.
