EU asks whether new tech rules should apply to Bing, iMessage, Reuters reports

EU regulators have sent out questionnaires asking customers and competitors whether Apple’s (AAPL) iMessage and Microsoft’s (MSFT) Bing should be regulated under the DMA, Reuters’ Foo Yun Chee reports. The DMA requires Microsoft, Apple, Alphabet’s (GOOGL) Google, Amazon (AMZN), Meta Platforms (META) and ByteDance to allow for third-party apps or app stores on their platforms and to make it easier for users to switch from default apps to rivals, among other obligations. People familiar with the matter say the EU asked in the questionnaires if there was anything specific to the services that business users rely on and how they fit into the companies’ ecosystems.
