Messaging unity\u2014After multiple scandals that hit Meta-owned <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook<\/a>, many users chose to swap the giant&#8217;s Messenger or WhatsApp messaging services for alternatives, such as Signal or Telegram.<\/p>\n<p>Yet the market power of Meta&#8217;s services remains strong, making it difficult for WhatsApp dissenters to keep messaging links with family and friends. <\/p>\n<p>To solve this, the DMA imposes interoperability between messaging apps, all while demanding that communications remain encrypted from user to user.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Fair shopping on Amazon\u2014Amazon is a major shopping platform for thousands of companies to sell their wares online. But suspicions are rife that the online giant abuses its role as a marketplace to better position its own products as a retailer.<\/p>\n<p>The DMA will ban this conflict of interest, as well as demand that the gatekeepers share key information with business customers.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Open the App Store\u2014Around the world, Apple has strenuously defended the sanctity of its App Store, barring companies from using their own payment systems or being downloaded outside the Apple store.<\/p>\n<p>Despite warnings that opening up iPhones would pose a security threat, the DMA will force Apple to allow software to be downloaded and for payments to be made outside its store. <\/p>\n<p>Failure to comply could carry fines in the billions of dollars\u2014big enough even for the world&#8217;s biggest company by market value to pay attention.<\/p>\n<p>Any gatekeeper platform that locks in customers to use pre-installed services, such as a web browser, mapping or weather information, will also face fines.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Ad transparency\u2014Google&#8217;s search engine and Meta&#8217;s Facebook and Instagram are the world&#8217;s biggest online advertisers, a status that critics say the companies abuse by accumulating valuable data about customers and keeping it to themselves.<\/p>\n<p>The DMA will force the tech giants to reveal much more to advertisers and publishers on how their ads work and on an ad&#8217;s actual effectiveness. This will make companies less beholden to Google or Facebook on understanding their customers and potentially encourage firms to get their message out in new ways.\n                                                                                                                        <\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<div class=\"article-main__explore my-4 d-print-none\">\n<p>                                            EU in final push for Big Tech crackdown\n                                        <\/p><\/div>\n<hr class=\"mb-4\"\/>\n<p class=\"article-main__note mt-4\">\n                                                \u00a9 2022 AFP<\/p>\n<p>                                        <!-- print only --><\/p>\n<div class=\"d-none d-print-block\">\n<p>                                                 <strong>Citation<\/strong>:<br \/>\n                                                 Five things to know about the EU&#8217;s landmark digital act (2022, March 25)<br \/>\n                                                 retrieved 25 March 2022<br \/>\n                                                 from https:\/\/techxplore.com\/<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news<\/a>\/2022-03-eu-landmark-digital.html<\/p>\n<p>                                            This document is subject to copyright.
