Apple iMessage, Microsoft Bing Dodge EU’s Big Tech Crackdown
- EU announces results of probe into market power of services
- Services not dominant enough to face Digital Markets Act
Apple Inc.’s iMessage and Microsoft Corp.’s Bing search engine, Edge web browser and Advertising service will avoid strict new European Union rules reining in Big Tech platforms.
A probe concluded that the services don’t hold a dominant enough position to be regulated under the EU’s Digital Markets Act, the European Commission announced on Tuesday. Apple and Microsoft said they welcomed the decision in separate statements following the announcement.
