This week, European regulators launched formal enforcement actions under the Digital Markets Act (DMA) against several major technology platforms. The investigations focus on search result ranking practices, interoperability of data, and transparency in cross-platform advertising systems. The DMA is designed to limit the market power of “gatekeeper” platforms and ensure fair competition. Companies found to be in violation may face fines of up to 10% of their global annual revenue, rising to 20% in severe cases.
This development signals a strengthened regulatory posture in the EU and may influence global tech business strategies going forward.
