My brain has been swabbed, and turned my mini headache into a raging one. Small price to pay though, for proof. Can't access much help without it. #CovidIsNotOver #COVIDisAirborne #longcovid #disability #gatekeepers

For #searchability:

⬆️ #EU qualifies as #gatekeepers & wants to regulate

#Social: #TikTok, #Facebook, #Instagram, #LinkedIn

Intermediation: #GoogleMaps, #GooglePlay, #GoogleShopping, #AmazonMarketplace, #Apple's #AppStore, #MetaMarketplace, [#MicrosoftAdvertising*]

Search: #Google, [#Bing*]

Messaging: #WhatsApp, #Messenger, [#iMessage*]

Video: #Youtube

Ads: #GoogleAds, #Amazon, #Meta

Browser: #Chrome, #Safari, [#Edge*]

Operating system: #Android, #iOS, #Windows

[* under investigation]

Degrade in some manner, the #encrypted icon for #HTTPS, and warn the user when entering sensitive data to a website, when a site is #reverseProxied or served by "#gatekeepers" (and #CloudGlare must be included as a gatekeeper).

The first three browsers to implement are rewarded €8,000. The best example after in 6 months should receive €30,000.

With the new EU regulations, I’m curious if big tech companies will take a page out of the car manufactures book and try to detect when the system is tested by the EU? I mean surely nobody would be so stupid. Right? #EU #BigTech #GateKeepers

Digital Markets Act: Commission designates six #gatekeepers #WTF
https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/ip_23_4328

RT @EU_Competition

🚨 Today we designate for the first time six #gatekeepers under the #DMA 👇

Alphabet

Amazon

Apple

ByteDance

Meta

Microsoft

The gatekeepers have 6⃣ months to fully comply with all DMA obligations ✔️

For all information⬇️

@EU_Commission
CloudFlare need to be included in this #EuropeanUnion legislation, also.

#cloudGlare #gatekeepers

@EU_Commission
This is actually great! What are the penalties, random blocking of the services at the network level?

Although we prefer the term #technoFeudalists to describe these entities (and entities, T'site Buyer, Akamai, Oracle, Alibaba, and Tencent which appear to be absent in the legislation), the term '#gatekeepers' is a fairly good indictment.

(EDIT: Removed M$ from above after double-check)

@harsh that's true and disappointing. What I had more in mind was Article 6(9) #DMA which applies to #gatekeepers like #Google.

Under the Digital Markets Act (#DMA), so-called #gatekeepers will have to submit an annual #compliance report

➡️ In order to respect the principles of #proportionality and #necessity, the report template should remain a non-binding guidance document

Is it just me or is it annoying that @EC_Commissioner_Breton now chooses to make official announcements like the notifications from #gatekeepers under the #DMA on #Twitter first?
