EU unveils landmark law curbing power of tech giants
The European Union unveiled landmark legislation on Tuesday that lays out strict rules for tech giants to do business in the bloc.
The draft legislation, dubbed the Digital Services Act (DSA) and the Digital Markets Act (DMA), outlines specific regulations that seek to limit the power of global internet firms on the European market.
Companies including Google, Apple, Amazon, Facebook and others could face hefty penalties for violating the rules.
EU antitrust czar Margrethe Vestager and EU digital chief Thierry Breton presented the draft on Tuesday, after the content of the new rules was leaked to the media on Monday.
