Google rolls out changes for users, apps developers as EU tech rules loom

Alphabet’s Google on Tuesday outlined changes to search results and new tools for app developers to promote their products on third-party apps and rival app stores as part of efforts to comply with landmark EU tech rules seeking to curb Big Tech’s power.

Designated as gatekeepers controlling millions of users and businesses’ access to their platforms, Google, Amazon, Apple, Microsoft, Meta Platforms and TikTok owner ByteDance will have to be compliant with the Digital Markets Act (DMA) on March 7.
