#Apple, #Google, and Meta are failing #DMA compliance, #EU suspects
Not even three weeks after the European Union's Digital Markets Act (DMA) took effect, the #EuropeanCommission (EC) announced Monday that it is already probing three out of six gatekeepers—Apple, Google, and Meta—for suspected non-compliance.

Wczoraj w #OkoPress poszedł jeszcze jeden mój tekst, tym razem o akcie o rynkach cyfrowych (#DMA, Digital Markets Act):

> Zamiast debatować nad tym, czy dany usługodawca jest monopolistą w dosłownym sensie, unijni prawodawcy postanowili więc skupić się na faktycznej władzy, jaką ma on nad milionami jej użytkowniczek i użytkowników.
> Stąd użycie w unijnej regulacji terminu „strażnik dostępu".

Rewolucja. UE wdraża akt o rynkach cyfrowych. Okiełzna strażników dostępu i ochroni naszą prywatność
DMA wymagać będzie od „strażników dostępu”, by usługi ich komunikatorów internetowych umożliwiły interoperacyjność z komunikatorami innych (również znacznie mniejszych) usługodawców.Michał rysiek Woźniak (OKO.press)
Last week, 7 companies notified us they qualify as 'Gatekeepers' under the Digital Market Act.
We will check their submission before designating them. They will have 6 months to comply with the #DMA and, among others, be unable to:
- lock in users in their ecosystem;
- decide which apps you need pre-installed or which app store to use;
- treat their own products and services more favourably.

The #DigitalMarketsAct CAN level the playing field and give users back control over their data. To do so, it's necessary to regulate the market, so that the gatekeepers cannot abuse their power. For @BrusselsMorning@twitter.com, I explained what the #DMA can bring us. https://brusselsmorning.com/2021/04/14/now-the-digital-markets-act-is-here-could-this-be-what-tames-big-tech/
