Apple found in breach of EU competition rules

EU's single biggest win is free and open Single Market and it will fight to keep it so. It doesn't matter where companies come from – if you look at e.g. GDPR enforcement tracker you'll see they're as eager to keep internal EU companies in line.

Yea, but that's not so true for the DMA. They're only targeting foreign companies using it.

Any evidence for this? Which big domestic company is a gatekeeper and not being targeted by the EU?

Fool me once shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.

See, the problem is that if I name one as an example, you will just fall back to silly games like "but the EU defined the term 'gatekeeper' in such a way that your example does not count". It does not matter whether the market dynamics are the same as the defined gatekeepers, whether the market shares are similar, or anything like that. Your side will shut down any debate with logic such as that. So why bother engaging?

It's like arguing with a hardcore religious person about god. "Oh, but that's not what I meant by 'god'".

This just sounds like you don't have any examples.

>It does not matter whether the market dynamics are the same as the defined gatekeepers

Perhaps then find an example where this is the case.

Initially all companies that were defined as gatekeepers under DMA were foreign, but on 13.5.2024 Booking.com was designated as one as well. They are a Dutch company.
