- toomuchtodo 3y ago> Microsoft disabled Xbox clip sharing to X from consoles and PCs in April. Did the Digital Markets Act incur any outcomes when this occurred?
- jncfhnb 3y agoGame consoles are not on the current list. And the current list has not passed the initial deadline to demand compliance
- kondro 3y agoI'd be surprised if the Act can force a company to pay another company.
- jncfhnb 3y agoIt cannot. But preventing twitter from being able to be accessed may not hold up.
- threeseed 3y agoNo it won't. EU has already designated the 6 companies deemed to be gatekeepers: Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, ByteDance, Meta, Microsoft And the act has never demanded that two companies must integrate with each other.
- jncfhnb 3y agoIt is true that games consoles are not on the initial list of gatekeepers. It is also true that companies don’t need to “integrate”. But they do need to make their services compatible with other third party apps. Gatekeepers will need to open up various APIs.
