The European Commission says it was investigating the companies for 'non-compliance' with the Digital Markets Act.
European Union regulators opened investigations into Apple, Google and Meta on Monday, in the first cases under a sweeping new law designed to stop Big Tech companies from cornering digital markets that took effect earlier this month.
The Digital Markets Act is a broad rulebook that targets Big Tech"gatekeeper" companies providing"core platform services" by forcing them to comply with a set of do's and don'ts, under threat of hefty financial penalties or even breaking up businesses.
It's looking into whether Google and Apple are fully complying with the DMA's rules requiring tech companies to allow app developers to direct users to offers available outside their app stores. The commission said it's concerned the two companies are imposing"various restrictions and limitations" including charging fees that prevent apps from freely promoting offers.
