Meta to Challenge EU Tech Crackdown on Platforms
Meta is preparing to legally challenge the European Union’s Digital Markets Act (DMA), which imposes strict regulations on major tech companies to ensure fair competition.

The DMA aims to curb the dominance of “gatekeeper” platforms by enforcing interoperability, data sharing, and prohibiting self-preferencing practices. Meta argues that these requirements could compromise user privacy and hinder innovation. The company’s challenge reflects broader tensions between U.S. tech giants and EU regulators over digital market governance. The outcome of this legal battle could set significant precedents for how digital markets are regulated globally, influencing the balance between competition, innovation, and user rights.
