According to a recently published list, the largest digital giants in the world, such as Apple, Meta (owner of Facebook), and ByteDance (parent company of TikTok), will encounter the most stringent regulations imposed by the EU on their business operations.
The European Commission, the EU’s powerful antitrust body, named 22 “core platform” services owned by six US tech companies – Google parent Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, Metal, Microsoft – and China’s ByteDance.
Services included Apple’s App Store; Meta’s Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp; Google’s YouTube video platform and Chrome browser and Apple’s Safari.
