The EU has unveiled its biggest ever legislative effort<\/a> to balance competition in the tech world. The new Digital Markets Act, or DMA, is intended to rein in the power of the largest tech corporations and allow smaller entities to compete with the mostly US-based firms. So far, the EU has tackled antitrust issues on a case-by-case basis, but the DMA is intended to introduce sweeping reforms that will address systemic issues in the whole market. <\/p>\n

Today\u2019s announcement targets interoperability of messaging apps like WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, and iMessage, with the EU saying that vendors will have to \u201copen up and interoperate with smaller messaging platforms, if they so request.\u201d The EU says that this should give users more choice in how they send messages, without having to worry about what platform the recipient is on. There\u2019s also a requirement that users should be able to \u201cfreely choose their browser, virtual assistants or search engines.\u201d<\/p>\n
