Amazon, Apple, Google, Microsoft, and TikTok identify as big tech “gatekeepers”
- isaacfrond 3y agoFrom the article: the new rules include several key items: They will no longer be able to lock in users in their ecosystem. They will no longer be able to decide which apps you need to have pre-installed on your devices; which app store you have to use. They will not be able to “self-preference”: exploiting the advantage of being the gatekeeper by treating their own products and services more favorably. Their messaging apps will have to interoperate with others. Which are very good. I miss one item though: no longer banning users without telling them what for and without a meaningful appeal.
