The Impact of the Digital Markets Act in Europe
The podcast discusses how Europe is taking steps to regulate big tech companies through the Digital Markets Act (DMA). This legislation aims to target tech giants like Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, Meta, Microsoft, and TikTok parent ByteDance, considering them as gatekeepers that control consumers' access to digital services. The DMA introduces significant changes, such as allowing iPhone users to download apps from sources other than Apple's App Store and promoting competition by giving space to smaller tech businesses.
