TECH - From Search To Flights: Google Tweaks Everything For EU's Digital Markets Act | Benzinga
To comply with the European Union’s (EU) Digital Markets Act (DMA), Google (NASDAQ:GOOGL) has unveiled the extensive work it has undertaken to meet the stringent regulations set to take effect on Thursday.
What Happened: Google has been working to comply with the DMA, a set of regulations designed to increase competition by imposing specific obligations on major tech companies. The DMA identifies six tech firms, including Google, as “gatekeepers”, requiring them to make changes that reduce barriers to competition, reported The Register on Wednesday.
Google’s Director of Competition, Oliver Bethell, emphasized that the company has made significant changes as a result of the DMA, including potential adjustments to its business practices and interfaces.
“The changes that we have made are the result of intensive work over many months from engineers, researchers, product managers and product designers from across the company,” he said.
