Tech giants have to comply with a new EU law that is set to change the internet. It aims to force open the biggest platforms to encourage competition and give users more choice in their digital lives.

    I agree that they’re not able to compete, but I’m pretty sure they aren’t doing it out of spite. I think they just see it as a big, monopolistic market that needs opening to competition (they have taken similar steps in other sectors as well, btw)

        EU doesn’t have any big tech, i.e. tech companies the size and power of Google/Amazon/Meta/Microsoft/Apple.

            OK, give my the name of a European company you consider “Big Tech?”

              I’m sure you have a definition of your own. So I’ll cast a wide web to see what sticks for you.

              ASML, ADYEN, NXP, NOKIA, SAP, DASSAULT, BAT, Spotify, LOGI

              And yes, I know these don’t hold a candle to the Mag7 of America…
