The European Union has launched its first probes under the new Digital Markets Act (DMA) into tech giants Apple, Google, and Meta Platforms. The law, which came into effect on March 7, aims to facilitate easier transitions between online services. Violations could lead to fines of up to 10% of the companies’ global annual turnover. The investigations will focus on suspected breaches related to issues such as app uninstallation on iOS, default settings changes, and access to choice screens for switching to rival browsers or search engines. The EU is also examining whether the companies are favoring their own services over competitors and imposing fees that go against the DMA’s free of charge requirement. The tech firms are confident in their compliance efforts but will face scrutiny as regulators aim to ensure fair competition in the digital landscape.
