EU wants 40-man antitrust team to enforce new tech rules, official says
EU antitrust regulators are looking to establish a 40-man team and hire a technology expert to enforce tough new rules aimed at reining in the powers of Big Tech, an EU official said on Thursday. The rules known as the Digital Markets Act (DMA) sets out a list of do’s and don’ts for Alphabet unit Google, Meta, Amazon, Apple, Microsoft and other gatekeepers which control access to their sites and the data there. Reuters exclusively reported in July that the European Commission was considering creating a new directorate to allay concerns that it may struggle to get deep-pocketed and well-advised tech companies to comply with the new rules.
