American technology company Meta partially won a dispute with the European Union on Wednesday, June 3, over the regulation of its services under the European Digital Markets Act. The General Court of the European Union ruled that Brussels must annul the designation of the Marketplace platform as a so-called gatekeeper. svet.sme.sk ↗
The ruling concerns the application of DMA rules, which are meant to regulate large digital platforms with significant market influence. However, Meta did not succeed in the same proceedings regarding its Messenger service. According to available information, it therefore remains subject to European regulation under the regime for large platforms. SITA ↗
The case fits into the broader European pressure on technology companies. Among the companies under the scrutiny of regulators and public debate is also Amazon. It is at the same time expanding its activities in the United Kingdom, where it is preparing delivery within 30 minutes or less in Manchester and Birmingham, and plans to launch same-day delivery of fresh fruit and vegetables in London.

Amazon is also facing debates about infrastructure linked to the expansion of artificial intelligence. In Seattle, home to both Amazon and Microsoft, the city government is close to adopting a one-year moratorium on the construction of new data centers. According to available information, the measure is meant to reflect growing local concern over the expansion of big technology companies. The Guardian ↗
Further developments will depend on how Brussels adjusts its approach toward Marketplace and how the application of the DMA to Meta's services continues. denik.cz ↗
