The European Commission opened an investigation into Meta, Apple and Google over potential breaches of the Digital Markets Act (DMA)
The EC will evaluate if Apple is making it easy for users to pick alternative browsers on their phones and whether Google favours its own services such as Google shopping in search results on its search engine. Meta will also be investigated over its decision to charge users for an ad-free experience on Facebook and Instagram and whether it complies with DMA provisions on users.
