Microsoft, Apple among companies named as DMA gatekeepers, Bloomberg reports

The EU has designated Alphabet (GOOGL), Amazon (AMZN), Apple (AAPL), Meta (META), Microsoft (MSFT) and ByteDance as DMA gatekeepers, and will take more time to assess if some Microsoft services and iMessage qualify, Bloomberg’s Samuel Stolton reports. The probe will not result in a fine, the report notes. “We are finally reining in the economic power of six gatekeepers, giving more choice to consumers and creating new opportunities for smaller innovative tech companies,” said Thierry Breton, the EU’s internal market commissioner.
