EU Launches Antitrust Probes into Google, Apple, and Meta Over Alleged Violations of New Tech Laws

The European Union launched antitrust investigations into Google, Apple, and Meta for allegedly violating new EU laws aimed at big tech companies.

The investigations focus on issues like self-preferencing in Google Search, App Store rules, and Meta's "pay or consent" model.

The companies had until March 6th to comply with the new EU Digital Markets Act antitrust regulations.

If found to be noncompliant, the companies could face fines up to 10-20% of total revenue.

The probes come amid increased legal scrutiny of big tech's market dominance and business practices in the US and EU.
