EU nations reached an agreement on March 24 about
best practices regarding the digital landscape.
.
Known as the Digital Markets Act (DMA), the ruling lays out conditions to which the largest tech companies must now adhere.
The major U.S. tech companies — including Google, Amazon, Meta, Microsoft and Apple — are all affected by DMA.

Large gatekeeper platforms have prevented businesses and consumers from the benefit of competitive digital markets, Margrethe Vestager, EU Antitrust Chief,
via Reuters.
This means that the time of long antitrust cases, during which the authorities were lagging behind the big tech companies, is over, Andreas Schwab, EU Lawmaker, via Reuters.
Tech companies such as Apple responded to the landmark DMA ruling.
We remain concerned that some provisions of the DMA will create unnecessary privacy and security vulnerabilities for our users.., Apple, Statement, via Reuters.
... while others will prohibit us from charging for intellectual property in which we invest a great deal, Apple, Statement, via Reuters.
Google reiterated Apple's initial response to DMA.
While we support many
of the DMA's ambitions
around consumer choice
and interoperability, , Google, Statement, via Reuters.
... we're worried that some of these rules could reduce innovation and the choice available to Europeans.
European health authorities discard any further bloc-wide measure against the new mpox variant situation as risk it poses for wider population is still considered 'low'.

Kamala Harris's campaign is using Google search ads that link to legitimate news articles but with altered headlines and descriptions to portray her favorably. This practice, ongoing since August, involves nearly a dozen major news outlets. While Google claims this doesn't violate rules, some news organizations were unaware of their brand's use.
