The European Union is intensifying its enforcement against major tech companies Google and Apple, charging them with breaching digital competition rules under the Digital Markets Act (DMA). Despite potential backlash from U.S. officials, including threats related to tariffs, the EU is proceeding with efforts to compel these companies to open their platforms to competition. Apple has been ordered to provide interoperability for features like iOS notifications and alternatives to AirDrop and AirPlay, which it argues could compromise user security and privacy. Google faces preliminary charges that could lead to significant fines as the EU emphasizes strict adherence to its regulations. This crackdown is part of a broader movement to ensure fair competition and consumer choice in the digital marketplace.
