EU launches probes for Apple, Meta and Google

Alphabet, who owns Google, Meta and Apple, is all being reviewed for possible violations of the (DMA) Digital Market Act introduced in 2022.

If it is found to have broken the rules, firms could face huge fines of up to 10% of their annual circulation.

EU antitrust chief Margrethe Vestager and head of the Thierry Breton industry announced the investigation Monday.

This comes three weeks after the EU fined Apple 1.8 billion euros for violating competition laws on music broadcasting, the BBC reports.

Meanwhile, the United States accused Apple of monopolizing the smartphone market in a historic indictment against the technology giant presented last week.

An Apple spokesman says the company will engage constructively with the investigation and that they are sure that their plan matches the Digital Market Act. They added that their teams established a range of mechanisms to respect the historical EU legislation, as well as protection of privacy and security for EU users.
