The European Commission launched proceedings on Monday against Apple, Alphabet (Google) and Meta (Facebook, Instagram) The European executive hopes to have equipped itself with the DMA with a sufficiently powerful weapon to make them bend. The new regulation provides for fines of up to 20% of global turnover in the event of serious and repeated infringement (compared to 10% until now) The Commission is thus opening an investigation against Alphabet, suspected of having exploited the quasi-monopoly of its Google search engine to favor its own price comparison services.
