Europe's Digital Markets Act is forcing tech giants to make changes. Here's what that will look like

Europeans scrolling their phones and computers this week will get new choices for default browsers and search engines, where to download iPhone apps and how their personal online data is used. They’re part of changes required under the Digital Markets Act. It's a set of European Union regulations that six tech companies classed as “gatekeepers” will have to start following by midnight Wednesday. They are Amazon, Apple, Google parent Alphabet, Meta, Microsoft and TikTok owner ByteDance. Europe has been a global leader in reining in tech giants. The rules are kicking in as a global effort to crack down on the tech industry picks up pace.
