Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, ByteDance, Meta, Microsoft

These are the first 6 companies designated as ‘gatekeepers' under the Digital Markets Act.

They have 6 months to ensure their core platform services comply with our rules, including:

✔ Allowing users to unsubscribe and remove pre-installed services
✔ Allowing the download of alternative app stores

❌ Banning tracking outside of their services without consent
❌ Stopping ranking their products more favourably

@EU_Commission I really like what the is doing for consumer rights and data protection. What happens when the companies don’t do what they are supposed to?

@wuppi In case a gatekeeper does not comply with the obligations laid out in the DMA, we can impose fines up to 10% of the company's total worldwide turnover, which can go up to 20% in case of repeated infringement.

In case of systematic infringements, we are also empowered to adopt additional remedies such as obliging a gatekeeper to sell a business or parts of it, or banning the gatekeeper from acquiring additional services related to systemic non-compliance.
