The Digital Markets Act will require these services, and therefore their respective companies to open up from their entrenched platforms. Messaging apps for example will be required interoperability with competitors, operating system will require third-party app stores and alternate payment options.

Full list:

  • Social Networks: TikTok, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn
  • N-IICS (aka messaging services): WhatsApp, Messenger
  • Intermediation: Google Maps, Google Play, Google Shopping, Amazon Marketplace, Apple's App Store, Meta Marketplace
  • Video Sharing: YouTube
  • Advertising services: Google, Amazon, Meta
  • Web Browsers: Chrome, Safari
  • Search: Google Search
  • Operating Systems: Android, iOS, Windows

They have six months to comply.

Google Search, Whatsapp, and TikTok on list of 22 services targeted by EU’s tough new DMA - The Verge

Microsoft hit a little but I doubt they'll care, they got their wish in the EU at least, iOS and Android is being forced open.

Good news for their Mobile app store when ABK closes.

Genuine question - who's gonna pay for all this?

I'll probably buy this one later this year when I can order it to replace the current 512 gig model
