Apple and Meta may face official EU charges for failing to allow marketplace competition

Apple and Meta are likely to be hit with official charges from the European Union (EU) under its new tech competition regulations.

According to insiders, EU regulators are presenting charges on the companies' failure to comply with landmark EU regulation known as the Digital Markets Act (DMA), which establishes open competition criteria for online "gatekeepers." Similar to anti-trust laws in the U.S., the regulations demanded Apple and Meta reign in their marketplace dominance by the summer.
