On Wednesday, the European Commission designated six “gatekeepers” under the Digital Markets Act: Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, ByteDance, Meta, and Microsoft.
The Digital Markets Act (DMA) defines gatekeepers as platforms that have a significant impact on the internet market.
“In total, 22 core platform services provided by gatekeepers have been designated,” according to the announcement. “The six gatekeepers will now have six months to ensure full compliance with the DMA obligations for each of their designated core platform services.”
