Digital Services Act
„U.S. tech giants face curbs on data sharing, digital marketplaces, under draft EU rules – Alphabet unit Google, Facebook, Amazon, Apple and other U.S. tech giants could be banned from favouring their services or forcing users to sign up to a bundle of services under draft EU rules aimed at reining in their power. – The draft rules, known as the Digital Services Act, aim to set the ground rules for data-sharing and how digital marketplaces operate. They are expected to come into force by the end of the year. – The European Commission is taking a tough line against U.S. tech giants, driven in part by antitrust cases resulting in decisions that subsequently failed to boost competition because of the lengthy process that typically takes several years.“

„Proposed EU rule may mean you can finally delete some apps from your phone – European regulators once again have the behavior of the biggest US tech companies – Amazon, Apple, Facebook, and Google among them – squarely in their sights as they move forward with a proposal to reform how digital marketplaces and data sharing operate. … There’s something in the draft for every major US tech firm to object to, it seems. Apple and Google in particular are likely to object to the provisions limiting preinstalled apps on hardware, as both iPhone and Android devices come complete with a whole suite of integrated first-party programs that you may or may not ever be able actually to delete. Apple is also highly likely to object to a provision that would effectively prohibit gatekeeper firms from blocking side-loading or alternative app stores or payment methods – the entire heart of the current dispute between Epic and Apple. – Meanwhile, Google, Facebook, and Amazon – all of which rely on tying together vast reams of user and competitor data – are likely to object to the provisions requiring information they see as proprietary to be shared with rivals.“
