TL;DR Summary

The European Union has initiated formal non-compliance investigations against Alphabet/Google, Apple, and Meta under the Digital Markets Act (DMA), focusing on issues such as self-preferencing, steering, and user choice obligations. The investigations aim to determine whether these tech giants are breaching the rulebook, with potential fines of up to 10% of global annual turnover for confirmed violations. The EU has also announced "investigatory steps" in relation to Amazon and instructed five gatekeepers to retain documents for assessment of their compliance. Additionally, Meta has been granted an extra 6 months to comply with the DMA's interoperability obligation for Facebook Messenger.
