We reached a new milestone in ensuring the openness of digital markets.
Last week, 7 companies notified us they qualify as 'Gatekeepers' under the Digital Market Act.
We will check their submission before designating them. They will have 6 months to comply with the #DMA and, among others, be unable to:
- lock in users in their ecosystem;
- decide which apps you need pre-installed or which app store to use;
- treat their own products and services more favourably.
@EU_Commission
This - "decide which apps you need pre-installed or which app store to use" - is particularly useful to be stopped.
It is a waste of battery and memory having dozens of useless apps pre-installed and locked in smartphones.
Thank you, EU!
